down_for_maintenance an SSL

I recently noticed my down_for_maintenance page no longer displays, when in the past it appeared as expected. The only changes to the site have been adding a SSL, which works on appropriate pages (made changes to both config files) and editing the english.php for title.

Can either of these above modifications affect whether the down_for_maintenance page shows?

Thank you.

Whenever you edit the English file it can affect the page. If I remember correctly you should leave a blank line at the end of the file.

SSL doesn't affect one page by itself, if there is something wrong with the SSL it will affect all pages as your SSL is called in the header of Zen Cart. The only error i have seen with SSL is warning of unsecured connection.

Thank you for the fast reply.

I replaced both the english and meta-tags pages to their originals and the same problem persists. There was another modification I can look into, a php include that affects the index page - but thank you for clarifying the SSL concern.

It appears several pages are affected. Ex. Homepage (noSSL) > Log In (SSL) >My Account (link-SSL) all ok, but then if I were update my account information/submit I'd get a blank page. It happens at other points as well. I used the Debug .php provided here. This is the common result:

PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at ... /includes/languages/english.php:1401) in... /includes/init_includes/init_templates.php on line 78

Any idea what could be the problem?
Thank you.

Any idea what could be the problem?Looking up that error message in the FAQ area brings up this article: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=87 ... which confirms, as the error message states, you've got a problem on line 1401 of your english.php file.

After replacing the english.php with the original installer version I still had the blank page issue, so I made use of error_logging.php again. It returned a line at the end of the account_edit that was blank. Removing the blank line fixed the problem! I never 'edited' this page in the past directly, but I am using a site manager that may be inserting line breaks before updating pages from local to remote, which might have 'edited' the page without my awareness, but that is just a preferences issue with the managing application.

Thanks for the great support!
