After pure MISERY for a couple of days, I think I am making some progress.
The vhosts_ssl.conf file fix did not work. I spent MUCH time with my dedicated server provider, aplus.net, who could not seem to help at all either. I DO have to use a plesk interface, and have the 2 folder problem. I finally found something on the oscommce forum that SEEMS to do the trick. I have included it below for anyone else who wants to try it.

NOW>>> I am getting a secure connection at http://www.photoimprints.com, when I go to LOGIN. Two small problems:

1. My DUH host provider, aplus.net, issued the certificate to photoimprints.com, not www.photoimprints.com. So an error is generated saying it is not from me, blah blah. Not a real problem, but offputting to customers. I have asked them to reissue the cert to www.photoimprints.com. Anyone else have this problem?? Did I ask for the correct fix?

2. I am getting the 'secure and insecure' notice. I do not know how to tell which content is insecure. Does anyone have an idea how I can eliminate that???

Thanks in advance for your help.

THE SSL FIX:

quoted from oscommerce forum:
I have found a way around this and it works great, for those who have similar problems here is how.

This was done on plesk 6.02 RPM install with redhat 9.

SSH into your server

su for root

cd /home/httpd/vhosts/domain.com

cp -R httpsdocs httpsdocs.bak (just incase)

rm -rf httpsdocs

ln -s httpdocs httpsdocs

chown ftpusersaserv httpsdocs

Thats all it should work great , now you just put your osCommerce files in your httpdocs directory and SSl should work on all pages requireing SSL.

I believe I figured out what the nonsecure content is. I have a Live Customer Support script link in the right column that actually goes to another domain of mine. And it needs to stay there. I'm not sure how to get around that...

It's usually downloading the image link from a non-secure (http) location that causes the problem. If that's it then place the image in your site and just link it to the other site. If it's the http link that's the problem and you have ssl on the other site then make the link https.
