SSL Problem

[jodean]

I have an SSL via GoDaddy.
If I enter my address https:tennesseetraditionalflies.com it starts the https:/tennesseetraditionalflies.com

I added the following in my configure.php files
// 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://tennesseetraditionalflies.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://tennesseetraditionalflies.com');

However the http:tennesseetraditionalflies.com does not go to https:tennesseetraditionalflies.com

Does anyone have any ideas what is causing this?

Feel free to take a look at the website.

Is this in the includes/configure.php or the YOUR_ADMIN/includes/configure.php? Not a good idea to have them both https: in the catalog.

What have you answered for the

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

Everything seems to be working correctly in the catalog.

The other thing to realize is that ZC is coded to use the applicable HTTPS_SERVER setting at the point(s) where such would be necessary like login, financial information, etc... I understand that https: has been applied possibly to the HTTP_SERVER constant both store and admin side, but generally speaking there is no reason to have the entire store securely served.

Yes that code is in the configure.php

Are you telling that it is functioning properly?

[jodean]

GoDaddy SEO reports that it is not protected and it displays all of the http pages as not using SSL.

Your site is operating properly. Only those pages which require SSL have it. If GoDaddy is looking for SSL on all pages, they don't understand how Zencart works.

It appears that putting the defines in the configure.php only work on a Windows server. On a Linux server you need to put the redirect in the .HTACCESS file. Refer to the GoDadday article below.

After making the changes it works now.

Actually, it doesn't. Having the entire site operate under SSL isn't necessary or useful, regardless of what Google is saying. As mentioned, Zencart automatically secures those pages which need it, no redirects needed.

A little offtopic, but......

Having the entire site operate under SSL isn't necessary or useful, regardless of what Google is saying.

Much to my chagrin, I recently read somewhere that Google have plans to give SSL enabled sites higher rankings than non-SSL sites.

Has anyone else heard about this?
