SSL nightmare on GoDaddy v1.3.8a

[kathis]

After upgrading to an SSL about a week ago we started having problems with our site going "down" after viewing several product galleries (for example: https://kathiskrystals.com/druze/doj11/index.html). We would not be able to get back to our store for about 15 minutes or so, and then it would appear to be back to normal, until we tried to view one too many product galleries again. I am at my wits end trying to figure out what the problem is, and any help would be very much appreciated.

I made the changes to both the config.php file for store and in admin, for the SSL:

// 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', 'https://kathiskrystals.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://kathiskrystals.com/');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

ADMIN:
* If you desire your *entire* admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://kathiskrystals.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://kathiskrystals.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://kathiskrystals.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://kathiskrystals.com');

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

PLEASE NOTE, I have the http_server as https:// because every time I take the "s" out of it, our product gallery pages will not open, the url for the product gallery changes from this
'https://kathiskrystals.com/druze/doj11/index.html
to this
'http://kathiskrystals.com/index.php?main_page=redirect&action=url&goto=kathiskrystals.com%2Fdruze%2Fdoj11% 2Findex.html

Godaddy believes that the reason our store keeps going down is due to the redirects built into Zen Cart.

We are using Zen Cart 1.3.8a.

Thanks in advance for any help. I have no idea what I am doing, and have basically learned from a lot of trial and error. I am still in the process of editing the gallery pages, to replace the http with https to avoid the "nonsecure" messages.

You really do not want or need to run all pages in https as this only slows thing down and at GoDaddy they are slow enough and will cost you customers as they will not wait
