SSL Problems

[DarrenQ]

Hi i had an SSL Cert installed today with 123reg.
I have been ahving problems since, my webpage does not show up how it is meant to. If i use

http://gamebeta.co.uk it doesn't work

if i use

https://gamebeta.co.uk then it works but the page is white with just links, not how i have designed it.

Also when in the admin area i continually have to use https:// on eveythign as the admin area keeps trying to load up http:// and thus failing to conect to the page.

I followed the help to change the admin config.php file to
this:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');

But that hasn't changed anything.

Also trying to access the webpage from google doesn't work

This is wrong:


define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');


This is right:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gamebeta.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gamebeta.co.uk');

Notice where it says HTTP?......you put http://
Where it says HTTPS..........you put https://


You will also need to define your includes/configure.php to use SSL also, NOT JUST the admin/includes/configure.php


Hope this helps.

Great thank you

I will try this out and see what happens

Ok i changed the files but when i goto https://gamebeta.co.uk
it takes me to 123reg website.

But http://gamebeta.co.uk is now working as before.

Shouldn't all my secured pages being with https?

how do i make certain pages secured?

Edit:
Well it was working as before but nowm it's stopped again.

Also i should mention that i installed my SSL cert after designing the look of my site. So maybe my site is getting confused with http and https stuff.

Also if i log into admin section using https, everytime i move from one section to another ie. store manager to customers, it does not connect as it is trying to connect via http, but if i add and s to http in the browser bar it then loads the page correctly.

I am very bad with this kind of thing and don't really understand how to fix this

I have had some problems with SSL, but reading through other posts i think my problem is i ahve installed my SSL cert after finishing the design of my website.

All the images i have made will not show up on https://
and i can't access my admin with out having to change http: to https: everytime i want to go to a new page in admin.

How can i get my images and basically my whole site to work within https://

I have also edited the files in includes config.php and admin includes config.php.

However according to the zen cart tutorial https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14
it says to change both files to the same like this:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

However in the admin config file the last line is not the same. it shows:

// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

Is this correct or should i replace the last two lines with;

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');


Thank you for any help in this, my website is screwed and i have no idea how to fix it

The HTTP isn't loading for me at all.
The HTTPS is loading, but without any stylesheet being loaded.

Are you POSITIVE that your SSL cert is installed correctly?

Are you POSITIVE that both your configure.php are now configured correctly?

Zen-Cart will use the SSL on the pages that needs to be secured automatically.

It doesn't matter WHEN you install an SSL cert.


Also, have you made sure that your template is the one being used in Admin>Tools>Template Selection?

In the admin file you want:

  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

I am using my correct template so it's not that.

I will have to phone 123reg and ask them tomorrow to look into this more. I already asked them if my SSl was shared or not and they said it wasn't.

So as far as i know i have chanegd everything correctly.

Are you sure it makes no difference as to when i install my SSL?
