Problems after we changed our entire website over to SSL

[aiko70]

(Using Zen Cart 1.5.0) Recently we changed our entire website over to SSL. CKEditor was working before the change, and now is not working at all. I read another thread regarding this with instructions to download an new file for CKEditor to work with SSL (that did not work so I changed it back) I am using the latest version of CK Editor on the main download page (3.6.2). I have tried re-installing CKEditor entirely. Right now I am unable to set CK Editor as the default editor in Configurations/My Store. When I go to EZ-Pages, it lets me set the editor as CKEditor, but has a couple different issues in different browsers. In Chrome, it just displays as text. In Firefox, in displays as the usual CKEditor, but there is a security message. In both browsers, changes are unable to be made because there is a "Page Title Required" error. I have tried to go in and set the title through html in the text editor, but this is not working either. I checked file permissions, all are correct. I am at a loss as to what I am doing wrong, or how to fix it. Thanks in advance for your help!

To start with, do you mean your site and admin are all SSL ? If so, why did you do that ?

Our hosting company did it when we said we wanted to make sure the site was running with SSL in the checkout etc...
Could this be causing the problem, and is there a way to fix it?

I can't say if it's causing the problem, but running your whole site (non-admin) under SSL isn't a good idea. Zencart knows enough to secure the proper pages when these instructions are followed:

So would you suggest contacting our hosting company and telling them to make sure the ENTIRE site is not running in ssl and then following the instructions you linked me, or just following the instructions as the site is now?

This is a setting in your store configure.php and not your hosts problem

I guess I am missing something or doing something wrong, both configure.php files seem to match the ones in the instructions.

Zencart will use SSL according to how it has been defined in the configure.php files.

You need to VIEW your configure.php files and indicate HOW you want the site to handle SSL.

To EDIT the configure.php files, you may need to change their WRITE permissions (done in C-PANEL >>> File manager) from 0444 to 0644.

BACKUP the file.

FTP it to your local machine and open it to EDIT.

Yours probably looks like this right now:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://YOUR-WEBSITE.COM');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://YOUR-WEBSITE.COM');

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

Change to:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://YOUR-WEBSITE.COM');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://YOUR-WEBSITE.COM');

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

SAVE THE FILE.

FTP it back to its proper location.

NB: While they have the same NAME, the configure.php for ADMIN is not the same as that for CATALOG.

On... and suggest to your host that they spend some time on this forum's TUTORIALS as it appears they are not very skilled in zencart.

I am running all SSL on a clients store with CK editor and no problems. So happy I have a great server and team! (Mine)
