thanks for your help.

If I read your post right, you're getting a 404 error when clicking a login link? And your site is configured to use SSL for logins... thus, the 404 error is a page-not-found while trying to find the login page. Thus, your supplied SSL information is incorrect.

To turn off the SSL mode:

admin/includes/configure.php

Change these to false:
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');



includes/configure.php

change this to false:
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');



And then work with your host to get the right URL for your shared SSL access.

My login for this page is on my ssl server , and it uploads fine the problem comes when i try to login as a customer and input my email, and password , th page will go to a 404 , and in explorer you can click o back or refresh , and it will complete the process. This only happens when you login and logout from the account .

I don't think its the ssl , because the ssl for my admin works perfectly. I read in another thread that it might me an htacces redirect , but i don't have the faintest clue as to which one to modify . Am i totally off?
thanks for replying

very frustrated

I made an account so you can recreate the problem . The email address is zencart AT zen DOT com and the password is 12345 thanks for your help

What is your server's errorlog saying every time you get the 404 error?

[ticoantina]

[Sun Jul 30 16:26:39 2006] [error] [client 69.36.161.21] File does not exist: /var/www/html/store/index.php

This is it . Now the deal is that the file path is wrong. it should be html/brainwashedtees/store/index.php. How do i fix it though? I thought i had everything right in my configure files.
thanks for your help

Try moving the /brainwashedtees/ out of DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG into HTTPS_SERVER:

 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ssl4.westserver.net/ticoandtina.com/brainwashedtees');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/'); 

If that works, do similarly in the admin configure.php

[ticoantina]

I guess thats why you're the sensei!!! Brilliant it worked ! Thanks a million!! I was beginning to depair. Now to make it look pretty!
