www= http, no www = https

[pRS317]

I just switched hosts (to bluehost) and got a dedicated IP for SSL, and have been working with support to get Comodo SSL installed. After many hours of chat support it's now sort of working...

When I type in www.doubledogdeal.com, I get http, but when i just type in doubledogdeal.com, I get https.

Here are what I have for the two configure.php files that the help topic says to change...any ideas on what I need to change?

(I'm not liking the https to be on the main page at all since it gives the warning message when you put something in the cart and would like it just to be http for product pages and index)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.doubledogdeal.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.doubledogdeal.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.doubledogdeal.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.doubledogdeal.com');

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.doubledogdeal.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.doubledogdeal.com');

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

Thanks!

If your SSL certificate was "issued" to your "doubledogdeal.com" domain (without the "www"), then you need to remove "www." from all those URLs in both those configure.php files.

[pRS317]

Now that you mention it, that makes it a bit more odd. Either way the domain is typed in, it goes to www (set that in htaccess), but the cert is for www (which is why I did the htaccess thing).

[DrByte]

Sounds like you need to sort some things out with the hosting company before you go changing Zen Cart files then.

[pRS317]

The tech that was helping me, last night, modified my htaccess file to redirect to https. Removing the s cleared up the index page having SSL.

The problem now, is that I can't access my admin panel. When SSL is diabled, I can get in just fine, but when it's enabled, my user/pass doesn't work and neither does resending the password. Is there something I'm doing wrong? I contacted support, again, and they said everything looks okay and confirmed that it works as I've described.

Please post your admin/includes/configure.php without your password -

That was a good thought. On my old host, I didn't redirect to www, and I had run that script before I did the htaccess change. I ran it again, but it reported that no changes were required. I'm also glad you mentioned it as I forgot to delete the file from the last time!

If I were to uninstall and reinstall using fantastico, would that affect the installation of my SSL cert, or is that independent of everything else? (I'm pretty sure it is, I just would like confirmation...it took over 3 hours with tech support to get it installed and another bit until I figured out where they messed up)

I'm thinking that if I did a new install, I could check to see if I still have the password error and figure out if there's something wrong with my current install. Would this be my best bet, or is there something else I can check first? Is it still possible that it's a server side issue even though everything else is working okay?

[pRS317]

Okay, count my issues resolved! ZC finally let me reset my password =D I tried doing that so many times that I thought it futile to give it another go, but I'm in, now! I'm still not sure how SSL messed my password up, tho :o

Thanks for all the help!
