SSL working for Admin, but not on checkout and customer login

[idle]

I've followed the tutorial provided here but it seems that I am only able to see SSL being enabled when I log into admin. I ran tests to see if SSL was enabled during the checkout and customer log in, but sadly it was not, unless I am missing something.

If I am correct the top should show https://xxxx if SSL is working correctly

Any suggestions on what I am missing in order to have SSL enabled for when my customers try to log in, and at the checkout page?

Thanks.

make sure your configure.php file in the root's includes directory is correctly set.

i went by the tutorial, i think it should look something like this
also, my permissions for /includes/configure.php/ are set to 644 if that makes any difference.

// 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.***.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.***.com');

// 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', '/');

and is your certificate for www.***.com or ***.com?

[idle]

the certificate is for www.thehydrosource.com , i just put *** because i did not want to advertise

[idle]

alright found out the problem, since it was a 3rd party provider, i had to get the certificate installed from their control panel as well after i uploaded the .crt files on my web host.

thanks for your help
