SSL Certificate help needed

[DarkAngel]

I just had our host install a SSL Cert for the store but I can't find withing the admin section if there is a way to "turn it on" so to speak...lol

I gave the host the name of the url and they created the cert but it will allow ssl access to the main index page of our server then when we click the link for the store using http:// the store is just as always -- secure but with no little padlock

however if we add the s to the start of the url we get what appears to be the secure address but it is combined with a non existant page error.

Is there something i need to do to the files for the store aside from giving the includes/config file the correct https addy?

The only thing you should need to do is edit the two configure.php files - one for the store front and one for admin. You need to ensure the define for ENABLE_SSL is set to true

Remember also, that zencart uses SSL only when necessary... ie: when sensitive data is being transmitted.

Most of the time it will operate in HTTP mode, switching only to HTTPS when needed.

LOL yes I did forget that it has its own SSL , oh well now it has 2...lol

found the two files to change, thanks for the help from both of you.
