Tested SSL via Qualys SSL Labs. It rated B and just fine

This is what you should try to do:

1. Disable the URL Friendly.
2. Backup your .htaccess on your computer and remove it from your server.
3. Try to test it.

thank you.

What I do:
1) Disable URI Mapping
2) Backup .htaccess and remove .htaccess

The result is same, no luck. admin login redirected to https while site login did NOT.

BTW how about the ajax.php and /ajax.php?act=ajaxPayment&method=setNoscriptCookie? Are they normal for 1.54?

Yes, ajax.php has been added since 1.5.4, the file resides in the root directory of your site (where your index.php lives). The other link is autogenerated by ajax.php

I have tried to create an account on your site and login. It works fine for me. Please try to create a new account then login with yourself.

I understand creation of new account works OK. But the thing is it does NOT switch to https during checkout and therefore the PayPal won't show up during checkout. The result is customer has no way to check out online. Now I had to turn on CC Offline temporarily to just collect customer's CC info so that customer can "check out". but that is NOT a good solution 'cause without https customer's experience is bad. We really need a solution!!!

Any ideas?

Just a quick update that both the configure.php's permission was automatically changed to 440. It is wired. Then I changed them back to 444. The site is still NOT working. When I click create account, it fails to redirect to https. Any ideas?

Go to /includes/init_includes/init_file_db_names.php and backup this file and restore your old file (I think you have backup before upgrade) then try to re-test.

[SignaGen2]

Did exactly what you suggested by backing up /includes/init_includes/init_file_db_names.php in 1.54 and upload /includes/init_includes/init_file_db_names.php from 1.51 version. Re-did test and it was same no redirection to https during checkout as it should be. I am frustrated...

May be I will have to redo installation. Any further suggestion?

one thing i think i forgot to mention is that I changed host during migration of my site. My site (1.51) used to be working properly with Hostgator. Due to slow page loading and bad support, I recently moved to Inmotion and did an upgrade from 1.51 to 1.54. Then I tested the new site completely and found nothing wrong. Then I pointed my domain to Inmotion and purchased a dedicated SSL cert which was installed yesterday. After I tested https://signagen.com working, I turned SSL on via two configure.php files. Then the problem appeared: Admin works OK while my site fails to redirect to https mode all the time until now. Hopefully the whole story help you understand my situation better.
