how to use a shared ssl certificate?

Actually you are not ...

Your site is setup without the www on both your non-secure and secure pages ...

Try changing that in the:
/includes/configure.php
/admin/includes/configure.php

See if it doesn't work better ...

gauker, you are using the wrong url. As per your ISP instructions you need to add the tilda (~).

The correct URL is http://www.medievalwares.com/~zt/

I tried it and it worked fine.

Cheers,
Jeff.

Let me correct that... You cannot use http://www.medievalwares.com/~zt/ because you do not have a SSL for your domain medievalwares.com. You have to use the domain on which the SSL is. In this case it is islandnet.com.

They way to use the shared ssl is

https://(servername).islandnet.com/~zt/

where servername is the server you are on. Try logging on to PLESK/CPANEL, whichever one your ISP supports and in the main page you should see the server name. Use that server name and you should be good to go.

Cheers.

actually enigma, you must have allowed the URL in cache

actually the correct url to use will be

https://www.islandnet.com/~gaukler

this is the secure server, symlinked to your account and then the store url

this is what you need to have in the https defines

just this nothing else,

the /zt/ will be added below

Heres what worked for me using a shared certificate, the main unix username is sonethrw but that isn't where the website was that I wanted to put the ssl on so the https link had to be:

https://secure.hostmonster.com/~sone...apurecosmetics

ultrapurecosmetics is the name of the actual website that the ssl needed to be applied to.
I use hostmonster for hosting and the way that they setup their accounts is that all of the websites that I host are underneath my main website directly.
Hope this helps someone.

Thanks, Ajeh. The addition of the www fixed the error. I hadn't added it because none of the HTTP or HTTPS lines in the Zen-modified configure.php files ( which included my domain name) used the www.

If your host dosnt have a symlik for SSL then you will need to move a copy of the entire store into the SSL folder
making sure to modify the config files ( in the ssl folder ) to recognize the new server path
