Problems with setting up SSL

[brettabloom]

I recently turned on SSL for my site (www.halfletterpress.com/store). I am getting an extra "https" in the URL when I try to login as a customer.

It looks like this: https://secure1.gate.com/ssl/halflet...ain_page=login

This results in an error. When I correct the URL the customer login page appears, but the entire site is then missing a bunch of information, the formatting is gone, and in general looks bad. How do I correct this?

Thank you.

Please post your includes/configure.php minus your database information.

This was the only part of the file that I changed:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.halfletterpress.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure1.gate.com/ssl/halflett/store');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

The site is hosted by gate.com and the URL is the one they provided for their shared SSL Certificate.

Thanks for your help.

You have only posted a peice of the configure.php file that Kim requested to help you and that peice shows errors ... not sure what other errors there are with your configure.php files ...

You have:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.halfletterpress.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure1.gate.com/ssl/halflett/store');

but you should be using:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.halfletterpress.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure1.gate.com/ssl/halflett');

Thanks for your help. It is greatly appreciated. This was the only part of that file that I changed. The rest stayed exactly as I got it when downloaded.

I just made this change, but it still doesn't work. When I try to do a secure customer login, the link creates a URL with an additional HTTPS in it. And I am unable to have a secure admin session as well. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

It would really help to see the whole configure.php file, from the server, without your username and password, so that we could identify all of the errors and issues ...

Ok. Here it is. Thank you.

It works now! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Best,
