shared ssl setup problem with bluehost for .com

[spawnie69]

I have read lots of threads and still can't get my site to work.
I read that Bluehost can have zencart .com storefronts using a shared ssl.
Is this not possible.

I followed the steps here:
https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14

Here is my changes on the configure.php file I made and uploaded:
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.gelcandleswholesale.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~gelcandl/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gelcandleswholesale.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure.bluehost.com/~gelcandl/');

after this change the website now goes blank at www.gelcandleswholesale.com

My goal is to avoid buying a dedicated IP address an SSL when I can hopefully use the free shared SSL they provide for my store.

Am I just wasting my time? or is there a method to this to work?

Thanks

As they are a "Certified" Host and implementing a shared SSL and how it requires being configured is up to how they have this implemented.....
You should be contacting them

You can also review the similar threads at the bottom of this posting

I did contact them and they gave me this :
https://secure.bluehost.com/~gelcandl/

So after reading threads I found the one above. I followed the instructions and the site is not visible.

If that is what they provided - - the answer still lies with them in assisting why you have a blank page

I will post a ticket with them and see what happens, thanks. I will keep you guys posted.

This is what BlueHost said....

"We apologize for the trouble you've been having, your configuration file looks like it has been set up correctly. I went to both your https:// and http:// site and both were coming up as blank, so this is an issue with your files or template. I would recommend disabling your template to see if that fixes it."

Does this sound right to you guys? If so, how do I do that?

thanks

None of it is coming up blank at the moment for me, did you manage to get it fixed?

A tip....bluehost shared ssl has a problem displaying the font sizes larger in Firefox, I thought this was uniquely a Bluehost problem till I saw it on one other site with a different host LOL and this can be fixed by putting the following code into your stylesheet:

table { font-size: 100% }

Does this sound right to you guys? If so, how do I do that?

Not having seen your site, I would suspect that they are referring to switching from your template to the classic template

admin > tools > template selection > select classic

Was this working before you set this for SSL ??
If so can you put it back to no SSL and will it come up??
