Turn off HOME link in Logo Image

[IDW]

you are using c-panel,
you shouldn't be using a mirror for your site,
however if you are then you need to make the changes in the 2 configure.php files in the mirror to reflect the server change.

Your host seems to have something set up totally weird,

You were right. My host set a symbolic link to my catalog directory. No more mirror. Which is cool. Did not solve the IE problem. IE still has no style wether you choose to show secure items or not. All other browsers work fine.

Which URL are you using now?

[IDW]

www.washingtonpools.ca/online
The last thing I did was remove the call for the logo image,the sign-in image and the submit info image. As far as could tell there were no other images being called and it still had no style in https.(I have put them back since then) In page source say the css files are called but it seems like they are not loading properly or something. This one really has me stumped. The pro I hired is having no luck either.

When you tell IE to not show insecure items it does say in properties these images are not available.

It gives path http://%20https//ssl5.servage.net/~sc15698-NLZR/online/includes/templates/custom/images/logo when you tell it to show insecure items.

But I removed it completly from the php file that calls it and still have same problem.

I do use shared ssl but really do not want to spend money and find out the problem still exists. It is not easy to find someone expierenced in this stuff to ask for help. I am sure someone online would be more then happy to charge me to solve it but how do you find some one you can trust.

The solution must be somewhere. But where?

Just to put an end to the thread. I am afraid I can not find the problem.
My zencart will not work with SSL In Internet explorer and thats that.
See Ya.

[barco57]

I don't know that much about setting up ssl but now that your host has turned off mirroring......why are you still pointing to the secure server url for https in your config files?

[Merlinpa1969]

I found your error

Look at this CLOSE

define('HTTPS_SERVER', ' https://ssl5.servage.net/~sc15698-NLZR');

it should be

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ssl5.servage.net/~sc15698-NLZR');

you have a space between ' and https

The host did not really turn it off. They created a symbolic link in the ssl folder to thw www file, so any file changes are automatically put in SSl folder.
Its pretty cool. i am not sure why the did not set it up like that to begin with.

I stared at the config files now for almost two weeks
I did see that space but i thought it was the way the file came and did not consider removing it.
It is amazing that such all small thing can cause so much frustration.
Internet explorer is obviously a stickler for details.

Merlinpa1969, I can not begin to tell you how much I apprieciate your help.
I do not know if you are part of the ZenCart team but I am going to make a donation to ZenCart for $200.00 and if I can, do it on your behalf.

Thanks

Time to put the site back together!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
