i'm having the same issue,

i installed the SSL on the hosting server.

When i visit https://mydomain.com it works perfectly, but when i click on login or checkout it doesn't go automatically to the https it goes to http, and i'm pretty sure i changed both configure.php files.

anyone had this problem before?

any help is much appreciated.

thanks.

Well, as you didn't give the web address we can only guess.

Some templates, for instance, hardcode addresses to http addresses, and this could cause the error.

here is the web address www. wihatools .ca

Well, there's nothing wrong with the Certificate, which is an Extended Validation certificate.

So either you failed to overwite the includes/configure.php file when it was updated, or failed to change 'false' to 'true' when you added the SSL address, or else the http address is hardcoded into the template you are using.

how to do i overwrite includes/configure.php ??

[Vger]

At the point where you installed SSL the includes/configure.php file would have had to be updated, and this would have involved overwriting the existing online version.

You'd have downloaded the file via FTP, edited it correctly in a plain text editor, and then, before uploading back to the server, you'd have to make the online file 'writeable' by giving it permissions of 644 and then upload the changed file and reset permissions on the online file to 444 or 400 (to make it 'unwriteable' again).

If you haven't done that then it's no wonder that the links which should say https still say http.

i did what you said to overwrite the file, and nothing seems to change.

i'm hit a wall here.

i also changed back to the default template of zencart, thinking that my template might have some issues, but it didn't change anything.

FTP to your site, go to the 'includes' folder and click to 'View' the configure.php file. It should say the following (below), for these entries:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://wihatools.ca');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://wihatools.ca');

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

You may also want to ocntact your hosting company because an Extended Validation SSL Certificate should be valid for both www.wihatools.ca and for just wihatools.ca, but your certificate appears to be only valid for wihatools.ca and not for www.wihatools.ca
