HTTPS switches to HTTP

[Three Sisters]

Hi -

I just had my host install my SSL cert and such, but when I checked out the login page and the shopping cart checkout I don't end up with the https in the address bar. Down at the bottom of the browser in the status bar it says https:.... but when the page actually loads it reads http. Any idea why? Configure.php is set to true for checkout...

Thanks!

Please post the includes/configure.php - make sure there are no passwords.

Here it is - I looked it over carefully for passwords and believe I deleted anything that could be critical. Please advise if not! ;]

Who is your host? Do you have both an http and https directory on your server?

[Three Sisters]

My host is BlueHost. Yes, we do have both... There was a problem with the initail installation, but they fixed it. If you put https before my domain it seems to be working...

[Three Sisters]

On second thought - maybe I don't have what you were asking for.... an http and https directory.... I looked and have a public_html directory and an ssl directory. I assume that what you're looking for? Sorry for my ignorance... My current cart takes care of the ssl stuff, so this is new to me.

[DrByte]

Ask your hosting company to "symlink" your "ssl" folder to your "public_html" folder.
With Zen Cart you don't need separate folders for SSL and non-SSL.

[Three Sisters]

I'll give it a try.

Thanks for the help - Ya'll are a wonderful wealth of help and info!

[Three Sisters]

Well my host and I are not figuring this out. So far, he says the folders are symlinked. Now he wants me to look for this:

"It would be Global setting, configuration or something to that effect, I apologize but my mind is not recalling exactly where it is on the panel or it's exact name, but I do know it has 'Global' in it. What we are looking to do is find the option to assume https for all pages."

Any idea where it is or what he's talking about?

[Three Sisters]

It's me again. BlueHost and I worked on this all day - to no avail. They confirmed that the folders are symlinked and looked for that "Global https" switch he was talking about. We got nowhere.

If I manually add the "s" to the address, it works. (Although the padlock is grey because of non-encrypted images, I assume.) My host says something goes wrong between the request for login.php? and the page that actually shows up as login.html.

Any thoughts please?
