Problems with HTTPS & Apache

[d1driftbiz]

Hi there,

my site doesnt seem to be loading up correctly. there seems to be an issue with the css layout & ssl. this is an error which has occured over the past 2days. it has been working fine for a long time!!

i have the site set to be viewed constantly over ssl, however what im finding is that none of the links are working! the index page is opening, but not displaying correctly. when i type a link in, removing the S in https it still doesnt let me through. just keep getting "Cannot Disply Page". i cant even get into the admin section with or without ssl!!!

i have spoke to the provider of the ssl and they seem to think that there has been a setting changed in apache.

i am clueless as to what has been changed as i have not touched anything!!

need to get this issue sorted asap!!!! Please Help!

When you say that you have set the site to be viewed constantly in SSL, do you mean you have the HTTP and HTTPS settings in your configure.php files, both set to HTTPS ?

This is not necessary. Zencart will invoke SSL when necessary, so why don't you set the HTTP and HTTPS as they are meant to be?

yes i have. i wanted the admin and the site to be viewed completely over the ssl.

the idea was to direct customers from a non secure page straight through to the site, which was completly over ssl. whilst all the information in the admin was viewed over ssl aswell.

by changing the settings back to normal, will it fix the problem as the site was functioning correctly with the new settings up until a couple of days?

Put the settings back to HTTP and HTTPS, as they ought to be.

There is NO NEED to invoke HTTPS all the way through. You do yourself no favours with SEO and site speed by invoking HTTPS all the way through.

okay, i'll give it a try.

what if this does not fix the issue?

Ask your host what they changed recently.
