I figured out why nobody is buying, the pop up that says "this site has sucure and nonsucure items, some poeple have been emailing me saying that they dont want to buy because they are afraid to put in their account numbers. we gota fix this! can we get rid of the pop up? how do we do this? i need business." HELP
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? I have seen it before?? Do I need to contact the SSL people or am I missing something in the admin?
I have visited other examples of some great carts made with Zencart and they don't seem to have this problem.
Looks like you have a problem with your SSL certificate:
Secure Connection Failed
www.blackflameclothing.com uses an invalid security certificate.
The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.
(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)
* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.
* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.
Or you can add an exception…
Thanks Kim and to everyone that looked into this problem. The hosting people said they would look into it! But I do have a tech question that I haven't seen before and I am wondering if I did something wrong?
Regrading your http & https confusion, their is no need for the security until the checkout stage, so products would normally list in a non secure environment. Once the checkout is reached, it does switch to the secure https server, but the unrecognised certificate notice pops up. And, yes, that would definitely be a real turn off for potential buyers.
Actually this is what the engineers at my hosting said:
The register.com ssl cert you provided is on the server and it is correctly installed. We are able to launch the other pages in https with the padlock in the browser. In the merchandise section, you do not have the padlock. Your site is serving mixed content from the code. We do know the links on the page reference the direct url starting with http:// and not https://. The base url is also pointing to an http:// url. You will need to review the code in your site to make sure that the code is not breaking certificate. If the problem still persists, then please let us know.
Check your two configure.php files on the server to see what you have defined for the URLs ...
If your files on the server still are not using the www then what is happening is your files on the server are probably set to 444 and when you try to load your files and overwrite them with the new files, they are not getting overwritten as the permission settings are stopping them from being overwritten with the new files ...
If this is the case, either change the permissions of the files to 644 so you can overwrite them and then back to 444 ... or delete the files on the server and load your new files with the proper settings ...
NOTE: one other possibilty is that you have two locations for all of your files and you have only updated one of them ...
Ok this is what I have on the catalog/includes/configure.php:
// 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://blackflameclothing.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.blackflameclothing.com');
// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');
and this is what I have on the catalog/admin/includes/configure.php:

Ok, I think I posted this incorrectly the other so I figured I would repost it with what I have now learned.
So when you go to my sites catalog I receive the SECURE and NONSECURE pop up asking me if want to isplay the nonsecure items. I have come to figure out that its because of my images.
I think!
So I have started to point most of my images to a secure link but I can't figure out how to make my product images secure?
oops I forgot about the nonsecure question I asked at the beginning of that thread. But actually I don't think anyone told me what I need to do about the secure/nonsecure message.
I know I have to link up everything as secure which is what I am doing but I am still having a problem!!!
Your entire site doesn't need to be secured under SSL, and doing so can cause problems. Why not just edit your configure.php files properly and let Zencart decide which areas should be secured? That will certainly take care of the secure/non-secure problem you're experiencing now.
Yeah stevesh you are correct (actually I have had a lot of great feedback). Actually I don't want the whole site to be secure. I just want that DAMN pop-up to go away!
I have followed everyones instructions (at least that I know of) in the configure.php but that DAMN pop-up just won't go away!!!
Plus I have the owner calling me like every 30 minutes asking "Did you fix it yet" I keep telling him no! Because I am a designer not a programmer!
Sorry for all the yelling everyone! This security thing is killing me!
