Site won't switch into SSL mode - using servage.net hosting

DrByte I see what you are referring to but also click the lock and see:

Connection Partially Encrypted
Parts of the page you are viewing were not encrypted before being transmitted over the Internet.
Information sent over the Internet without encryption can be seen by other people while it is in transit.

Probably more than one issue...

I'm not sure what to do now....

since I haven't put any stock or anything in yet perhaps the easiest route would be to delete and re-install Zen in https://secure.gothicmagic.co.uk

but then I guess that would have to be my shop url which isn't very nice.

But in short it looks like I cocked it up when I bought my SSL cert, it suggested secure in front of my url by default and I just went with it, live and learn I guess.s

You can try it.
My guess is that you'll have the same mess when you're done, and be no further ahead other than to be certain that your host's server setup is ... well ... bad.

If this was not one of the expensive ones, and I hope it was not...You can obtain another and possibly have it issued to the www. domain url also

Right ... the non-encrypted components would be everything that's referenced with a relative path, such as images and stylesheets, since they're all based from the base href when they're not using an absolute URL.

Which means it all still boils down to the server not giving enough info about the fact that the page is running SSL, so Zen Cart cannot pick up on that fact and switch into the proper mode.
