How do I get the checkout button to go to httpS//www for secure checkout

https question

I switched from oscommerce and on that store, when a user clicked on "checkout" it automatically went to the httpS//www.mydomainname.com and zencart is not doing that. How do you make it go to the secure site for checkout with the www included since that is where the cert is (https doesn't work without the www)?

I did enable the ssl in the configure.php files.

Thanks

Please post the top 40 or so lines of your configure.php file

Ok here are the top of the config files...

includes/config

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.slenderresults.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.slenderresults.com');

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

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/slender/public_html/shop/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/slender/public_html/shop/');

Change the false to true> admin/includes/config

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

thank you for the quick response, I changed that but it still doesn't switch to the https when you click checkout OR when you click on create account or login.

If you go to https://www.slenderresults.com/store (oscommerse version), then add something to the cart and click checkout, or when you click my account, it auto switches to the https.

If you go to https://www.slenderresults.com/shop (zencart version), then do the same, it doesn't go to the secure server.

Is there something else I am missing?

Thanks,

May be a hosting setup problem. When you enter the site using www.####, it works until you click on a product. It then reverts and drops the www.

Entering https://www for the cart shows it's not picking up the files.

check and see if you have a redirect in the htaccess making everything non www

No, there is no redirect.

I also thought it might be something like a hosting problem when I noticed it was going to the files without the www. but then I looked at
slenderresults.com/store (oscommerce) which is my old store and it does the same thing where all of the clicks go to the file without the www but when you click checkout, it goes to the https/www. same with "my account" - it sends the user to the secure page with https/WWW.

On slenderresults.com/shop (zencart) - it doesn't do that and I'm completely baffled!

What now???

This works...
https://www.slenderresults.com/store/ (oscommerce)

but this doesn't
https://www.slenderresults.com/shop/ (zencart)

so I have to assume it is not the server but zencart.

You know what assume does....:P

If the .htaccess is okay, I'd talk to my host.:yes:

You did make both of your configure.php files writeable before making edits?
