    As dbltoe pointed out, the site is accessible by both www. and non-www.

    When accessed without www. all of the internal links point to https: and the page is redirected to https: when accessed with http:. *BUT* if the page is accessed with the www. prefix, then the internal links are http: as if the page is not recognized to be loaded with the SSL. At the same time, a mixed content message is provided... This is something I've not seen before. Usually even if the site has been reachable with www. and the certificate expected non-www. the links would still be https: but the page format may be text on white... (CSS not loaded)
    OK I KIND of understand that. Interestingly, I never had the www enabled or used. I have always used the url without it. How would I prevent that?

    Yet, the client was NOT using www when she was trying to access the site, so why would she have those issues? I know she was not using it because i was doing the remote session with her so I could actually see it.

    It looks like we are making progress, but I feel like I am getting deeper into the jungle and it is getting darker for me!

    I had a chat with someone at CloudFlare where I did set up my SSL. They gave me some directions to address this mixed content issue.
    I just followed their instructions, but don't really understand too much. Would you mind rechecking the same way you did earlier?

    I did the changes recommended by Cloudflare to address the www issue.
    I don't know if it changes anything where you "tested" it, but the customer said she tried again last night and got the same message when trying to log in.

    Maybe it was not the issue? Or maybe it is compounded with something else?

    Oh, and i also did the tracert thing on my site also.

    I just tested it again: test was enter the url with https: and www. prefix. This time the address redirected to https: without the www. prefix. The verification portion of the testing was to view the page source and search for "http:". The minimal number of occurrences were discovered and those do not yet cause browsers to flag the page as having mixed content.

    So on the issue of this user. Have mentioned that are using cloudflare. I thought that "service" offered caching of pages to speed up load time. Considering that the ssl certificate has changed and although the pages are served all https:, two things. One) are you able to either request cloudflare to clear their cache or temporarily disable cloudflare for testing purposes, and now two) based on the possibility that cloudflare offers https regardless of site configuration, could you please provide your includes/configure.php file down to the DB_ related information and as necessary obscure anything considered necessary to "hide"? As part of that posting could you please first press the # button in the quick reply message box to provide code tags between which the content is pasted?

    ARGH! No mention of Cloudflare till last night. It's things like this that make me want to force answers to all posting tips.

    If the IPs of customer and son are in the same group, they may be accessing a delegation that has not changed. Cloudflare can take up to 24 hours to completely update data.

    Cloudflare is like adding additional cache all around the world. Expecting all servers to change immediately (or at all) is the epitome of assume.

    Let's see what happens after the 24.

    I will wait until tomorrow and/or until the member can retry again as suggested by dbltoe.
    In the mean time, I will also check with Cloudflare what can be done from your suggestions.

    Will report back.

    Default Re: User cannot log in nor reset password

    My customer emailed me this morning with this message:

    I found one other spot where it was collecting cookies. I specifically deleted the file there went back to log in and it WORKED!!!. Did a happy dance. I suspect something happened and I got a bad cookie (I don't know if that is a real thing. I am going to try and make a purchase but I can see my account and the shopping cart so I think we are good.
    She logged in and completed a purchase. So, I am still unsure if that is the only issue that was affecting her (that other cookie) or if the other things we tried helped. She did try the Tracert and although it kept saying "timed out", it ended with a completed message.

    So far, so good.
    Thank you for your suggestions and patience.

    Proof in the "cookie" pudding would be: how about the other devices? Able to access without clearing any other "bad" cookies on those two other devices?

    Cloudflare will impose cookies even if you attempt to present a site without them.

    On the configure.php note, I would suggest you do the following changes in red to both configure.php files:
    Code:
    /**
     * Enter the domain for your store
     * HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.yourdomain.com
     * HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure/SSL webserver: eg-https://www.yourdomain.com
     */
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://creationcassel.com');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://creationcassel.com');
    /** *  If you want to tell Zen Cart to use your HTTPS URL on sensitive pages like login and checkout, set this to 'true'. Otherwise 'false'. (Keep the quotes)
     */
    define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');
    Most modern browsers now prefer that all content be presented in https mode.
