Featured Products stops working when SSL is set to True

Hi, I need some help.

We are using zen cart version 1.5 in a TEST environment. I have "Featured Products" turned on the main page. 5 items listed. When I updated 'ENABLE_SSL' to 'true" in file includes/configure.php the "Featured Product" section disappeared from the main page. Any ideals what is causing this? If I turn the SSL back to 'false" the "Featured Products" reappears.

Maximum Display of Featured Products - Main Page is set to 9.
Index Listing - Show Featured Products on Main Page has a value of 2.

in Tools - Layout Box controller the sideboxes/featured.php ON LEFT 45 0 OFF

Can someone point me in the right direction as to why SSL would break the "Featured Products"?

Have you an URL to your site ... set your site to SSL false for now so we can see ...

http://www.kandccollectibles.com/zc1/index.php?main_page=

And if you turn on the secure ...

SSL turned on

Do you see any debug logs in your directory:
/cache

yes - but the last one is about 49 minutes old.

Do you have 1 directory or 2 for your site?

Could you post, from the server, without your username or password, the file:
/includes/configure.php

sw1138lr:

yes - but the last one is about 49 minutes old.

Do a refresh of the /cache directory to see if any new ones show up ...

refreshed - still nothing in /cache that is current.

You might try either winmerge or beyond compare and compare your site to a clean v1.3.9h ... http://www.zen-cart.com/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_-_Diagnosing_Obscure_Issues

Is there any difference if you switch to the Classic Template?

I already had v1.3.9h installed. It is working on that version with SSL turned on.
The only difference I see are two define statements. v1.3.9h has these two statements but v1.5 does not have them.

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

Those are not used in v1.5 ...

Is this a Clean install or v1.5 or an Upgrade?

How did you install/upgrade it?

Clean install.

Did you install it via the download from zen-cart.com and then with FTP, or how?

What happens if you switch to the Classic Template?

I was able to fix the issue. We have two test systems. The databases names from the other test system was in my configure.php file. Once I correct the DB name it fixed the issue. That's for your help.

Thanks for the update that you had an error in the configure.php file ...
