SSL private cert for checkout only causing probs

[Calljj]

So i've altered the config files, set enable for the checkout.
Using private cert.

Go to the login page (still get a few probs with identifying non-secure, but will weed those out later!) and goes to https...great!

Problem is that it changes all the links to other parts/pages of my site to https, i.e all my ez pages, and even the shop link.

How can i stop it doing this?

Other question is, can i turn off the display of the "search" "information"and "categories" from the side boxes during login and check out as these are still kept as http and think they casuing some of the non-secure probs.

Thanks

Ok, Solved it, thought i'd post my solution.

In my tpl_header.php files under tmeplates, all my links were relative i.e
'<a href="/index.html">'

I had to change these to direct links in order that they didn't change to https when clicking on th login button.

changed to

'<a href="http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.html">'

Problem solved.

better solution, would be to make sure that your configure.php files are setup correctly,

can you paste the top 30 or so lines of the includes/configure.php here

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.northkites.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.northkites.co.uk');

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

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Is it the above causing it to happen?

no that all looks correct,
thats weird,
but you should never have to change the header files at all
