SSL Issues - not able to add items to the cart

Hi.
I have had an issue for a while now.
When setting the config.php to what (i think) the correct settings should be you cannot had items to the cart.

On Windows Server, if I configure the config.php to
This works (But is using the wrong domain names for the end users web site)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://cc.dencom.co.nz/techbooks');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cc.dencom.co.nz/techbooks');


This does not work, you cannot cannot add items to the Cart
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.techbooks.co.nz');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cc.dencom.co.nz/techbooks');

(i have a test server with a Shared Cert which also has the same issue)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.techbooks.co.nz');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.techbooks.co.nz/techbooks');


In teh last case using the shared Cert
https://www.techbooks.co.nz/techbooks' is actually
https://cc.dencom.co.nz/techbooks

Sessions id's are stored in the DB.

I arrived at (non-SSL) http://cc.dencom.co.nz/techbooks/ without problems.

Then added a product to the cart - again no problem.

Clicked the Checkout button and it took me to the secure Login page (as it should be). There were no errors.

Worked fine for me ...

Yes it does work for the Live Site, but I have had to set the configure.php to use the wrong domain names. I can only get it working using the cc.dencom.co.nz

Should be (using a Shared Cert, in the Test Server)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.techbooks.co.nz');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.techbooks.co.nz/techbooks');

Seems to be an issue with the ZenID when changing from one virtual server to another. As I noticed a customer cannot login also.

Any SSL cert only works for the domain it has been purchased/issued for.

If the cert was issued explicitly for http://cc.dencom.co.nz then it *will not work* for http://www.techbooks.co.nz no matter how you set your 2 configure.php files.

There are many other posts scattered through the forums dealing with exactly this same issue.

For anyone else having this problem please see this tutorial which I posted about 12 months ago.
