Would you post the upper part of /includes/configure.php, the part where the HTTPS_SERVER, HTTP_SERVER and ENABLE_SSL is specified.

should be set to true, otherwise https will never work

I ave had it at true, did not work

I will look at moving over to them when my contract is up at the end of the year. But the problem is now. I have done everything that 1&1 have said and everything that zencart have said still no joy. I have been trying to add two images to show the problem, but no chance.

I would be looking at what I am LOSING (revenue wise) by having a site that is non-functional, or "precarious" in any way.

I don't know what you are selling, but let's imagine you are looking at Gross sales of £250 a day, with a net profit of £100 a day.

Between now and the end of the year, there are roughly 160 days.

You are missing out on (based on my numbers);

Gross Revenue: 40,000
Net Profit: 16,000

... and you are fussing over a few pounds you've wasted by using the crappy 1&1 system?

Doesn't make sense to me...

(Unless your site is just a "hobby" in which case it's not important if it earns money).

I am using QuickSSL Premium

Did you purchase that certificate for the subdomain or your primary domain? According to GeoTrust's documentation on that certificate, in the birdseed:

Bonus: Secure domain.com for free when you order www.domain.com *

* This is only applicable to single-level domains. For example, www.test.domain.com will not secure test.domain.com.

Your issue could be explained if you're trying to secure jmi.edencraftsupplies.uk.com when the certificate was purchased for the primary domain.

Very true. I have been thinking about what you said yesterday. ATM I am in two minds what to do. The site is only setting up so I cannot afford to move. I do not hold any credit card info. I will have to have a very long and hard think of my direction.

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false'); 

should be set to true, otherwise https will never work

Yes and no... A site set with ENABLE_SSL can be tested on a page by page basis to see if the cert works, but navigation by clicking a link from that page is likely to change back to http:. This is much like the possibility of loading the login page of a secured site by simply removing the s in https:.

Also, it is a good thing to test if the SSL functions while the site is still not set to use it in case (like here) the SSL does not function. Once verified, then yes apply all necessary changes to make the site functional with the cert.

An individual SSL cert also requires a dedicated IP address. Perhaps the new IP has not fully propagated yet.
