Help! Just got https Now everything is messed up!

[hello]

i think I set the https wrong in zen cart.. is the php right?

[hello]

Do I have to move the site folders into a https folder.. something like a httpdocs folder? where do I find this folder? please help.

everything was fine before I try to install https: (ssl) on to the zen cart page

I just notice this

You may have to load the whole catalog into an HTTPS directory also. Please consult your host for the URL you will need

?? do I have to do this?

NO!
Unless your hosting company is using an old archaic configuration which requires all your SSL content to be served from an httpsdocs folder, then you DO NOT want to go duplicating your site needlessly. It's a RARE case where one would do that, and usually it's better to pick a better hosting service than to do the wasteful duplication.

Looks like either someone has written the configure.php files incorrectly or you have rewrites happening on your site ...

Since going to:
http://www.your_domain_name.com

automatically changes to a secure URL, this tells me you have rewrites happening ... at a minimum ...

Either you set these up or your hosting company did ... and things should not be setup in that manner ...

[hello]

Thanks for all your help.. So this should have been easy?

One get SSL for the main site

Two: after ssl for the main site.. just put in the https: in the two php files as mention in the zen cart ssl tutorials and that's it?? No need to upload folders or to secure all the folders..etc?

I'm using justhost for my host.

ps. did I do the php files right?

[hello]

don't know if this helps.

After I got the https for my main site. I went to the zen cart admin page to make a few changes.. it gave me a pop up about this is a secure site.. third party or something like that but when I try to save or make changes to the zen cart site It won't let me.. it just stay the same.

After I went to the two php files and changed it to https then I stop receiving the messages and was able to change the site.. is this normal?

Pretty positive that this is a server issue with how your domain is setup ...

More than likely your domain is set to force secure pages rather than let the code manage this for you ...

This means the two are fighting with one another and that isn't going to allow things to work properly ...
