HTTPS not working

I know this question has been asked a million times on here, but as I search through the results, I can find one that quite fits my problem. My http site works just fine. It is not until someone tries to checkout or sign up/sign into their account that problems arise. GoDaddy consistently tells me it is not their issue because the SSL is setup and performing correctly. Now when you click on login on my site, the URL is:

https://fancyinfrills.comhttps/index.php?main_page=login

After the .com there is no /. I think that is what is breaking my https because the same thing occurs when I try to checkout through the shopping cart. I have setup both configure.php files per the instructions on this site. Where am I going wrong? Thank you.

BTW: My site is www.fancyinfrills.com. It's still a work in progress.

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

it looks like there is something wrong ...

I intentionally took out the database information.

Here it is:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https:/');

Should just be:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

unless there's something really unusual about your server configuration.

That worked like a charm! Thanks. Now how can I set it up so that customers can access my site without typing the 'www'? I want them to be able to access it both ways (with 'www' and without).

Stevesh,

Since I made that change, I am not able to log into my admin page. I am getting the "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart" screen. Do I need to make changes elsewhere?

The files:
/includes/configure.php
/your_admin_dir/includes/configure.php

are different ...

Can you post, from the server, without your username and password and not your real admin directory name if it shows in this file, the file:
/your_admin_dir/includes/configure.php

The reason you can't access your admin is that none of the file-system or database settings are valid.

For what it's worth, whenever I posted the admin version of the configure.php file, I didn't have to change anything. They were already set to:

// define our database connection
define('DB_TYPE', 'mysql');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'zen_');
define('DB_SERVER', '%%DB_SERVER%%');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '%%DB_SERVER_USERNAME%%');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '%%DB_SERVER_PASSWORD%%');
define('DB_DATABASE', '%%DB_DATABASE%%');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false');
define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'db');

I changed the SERVER, USERNAME, PASSWORD, and DATABASE information to match that of the other configure.php file. I also changed the USE_PCCONNECT to 'true'. Do I need to change anything else or should I even change what I did?

Yes, change all occurrences of:

/%%DIR%%/ to /
%%FULLDIR%% to D:\Hosting\9600306\html\

lat9,

I was typing that last response at the same time you were. Up until now, the only changes I made to the configure file were changing the 'falses' to 'trues' to make the https content work. Can I replace those values you highlighted in red or do I need to completely start from scratch and reinstall everything?

I will give it a try. Thank you.

After making those changes, I no longer get the Zen Cart page. I now just get a plain white screen when trying to access my Admin page.

Please post your updated admin/includes/configure.php (without the actual database settings).
