SSL Issue/Problem

[derek.b]

Hi Folks

I wonder if someone would be as kind as to look at an issue I have with my site.

I have recently had an SSL cert (Rapidssl) installed by my host and enabled the SSL via the configure.php files as described in the tutorials.

I am now getting a warning when visiting pages on IE not so much on Firefox but noticable on IE so I suspect all browsers are affected.

I have gone through various image src and renamed them with relative(I think) paths as opposed to absolute but am still getting a problem.

Just wondered if there is something glaringly wrong with the site or something obvious I have missed, I have searched but am honestly confused by some of the terms and as such don't want to start messing with things I am unsure of!

I have the latest version of zencart installed (was a fresh install) and the following addons.
Image Handler 2
CSS/JS Loader

Using all_business template.

w w w . a s - i r e l a n d . c o m

Any help with this would be great!

Cheers

Errors on Secure pages are caused by linking to non-secure pages. If you have any scripts or images on the secure page which start with http instead of https, you will get a popup error in IE. You will also get the error in FF, but FF doesn't usually display popup but rather a broken lock in the bottom navigation bar.

There are tons of links on your login page that are linking to non-secure pages.

Thanks for the reply, so are you saying that I can't link to a non https external link on one of my secure pages then?

I didn't think external links had an effect on this though from what I have read on here, but then I am known to read things incorrectly!

When you switch to https pages your 'base href' should change to https, but yours remains as: <base href="http://www.as-ireland.com/" /> - and that's why you have this problem.

You need to recheck your includes/configure.php file

Just checked and rechecked both configure files point correctly to the https version and are all enabled 'true'

Is there another reason why the 'base href' would be incorrect?

My guess would be that the template you are using has some hardcoding of links within it. I suggest you try switching to the Classic Template and see if that resolves the problem. If it does then you know that it's the template you've been using which is at fault.

Having http links, internal or external, on https pages does not cause a problem - it's only when you call in either images or javascript froman http location on https pages which causes these problems - and I couldn't see any of those.

Damn switching to original template hasn't cured either!

Any other things to check for vger?

Okay, upon further examination, all of your images are being called in from http locations:

but I believe that this is because your base href is wrong.

Check any root level .htaccess file to make sure that people are not being redirected to http addresses.

Back again.

Thanks for taking the time to look over the site, I have just spent last couple of hours checking all the .htaccess files I can find and I'll be honest I cannot see anything relating to http or https etc.

I'm sorry to sound a touch dense but is there anything else I can do to find what I should be looking for...?

What determines where the image locations are from as I again am having trouble even finding them, (all I can find for instance is the "../images/filenamehere") just so I can change them manually and see if that helps.

I don't want to turn the ssl off but with its current issues every man and his dog are ringing me instead!!

1. There's nothing wrong with the SSL Cert install
2. The images do appear to be using relative pathways, as they should be, and only show up as coming from an http:// location because the base href is wrong.
3. Just checked the site in iE 8, which gives more of a clue with this sort of problem that Firefox - and it's definitely the base href that's the problem.
