STEVESH: I followed your link and that was the same page I found last night. I went to step (2) and limited the htaccess with no results.

DRBYTE: I will follow your tips right now.

TORVISTA: Your notes have my interest because even as the site's "broken", I can't check out due to an SSL issue - which I'm not sure why. I want to explore what you mentioned, but I'm at a small loss as to how to change the HTTP_SERVER to HTTPS_SERVER. Is that a fix in my config file? I'm going to experiment with that while I hope for clarity from you.

Thanks to all! I'm trying everything and appreciate your time and contribution...
