SSL Problem

this will sound stupid....but how do i give the images a https connection?
If you are using a private SSL versus a shared SSL and have not hardcoded any of your images (meaning using a relative address) then you need do nothing as Zen Cart will handle this for you.

If you have hardcoded images convert them to relative links

In my store it is a different story. I sent a request to my hosting company and they said it is fine but i just need to change something in the programming of my site.Who is your hosting company?

Hi
i checked your site using IE7 now it gives me red color bar so when I checked your SSL certificate
this is the error that I get
this certificate is not trusted one
one suggestion
ask webhost to install the certificate again because in detail IE7 says that certificate is issued to 192.168.7.38 and is issued by same and detail analysis shows that it is for smartyhost.com.au so they have nt configured it properly

So it should be in respect to your domain name nt IP address

talk about driving me crazy!!! Arghhhh I really feel like I am banging my head against a wall.

Yesterday the site was working fine, 2 different machines, one a PC and one a MAC.

MAC - Firefox - Was working fine, Padlock ok, webaddress verfied by Equifax
MAC - IE - Same....working fine, padlock webbaddres verified by equifax
MAC - Safari - Same all working good

PC - Firefox - working fine padlock ok and verified by equifax
PC - IE7- working fine, padlock ok and web address verified.

Today......all gone wrong again! I did absolutely nothing to the site inbetween.

This is driving us crazy.

Any ideas?

https://www.smartyhost.com.au is our host

Hi Neil

At the moment I am on your site firefox and when i enter your site the first thing that i get is a big box stating that
unable to verify the identity of 192.168.7.38 as trusted site

I still say ask your host that configure the ssl properly I wonder why the smartyhost is not helping you to install the ssl properly because it is issued to them not to you (issued to 192.168.7.38 ) , if you are using this kind of certificate then you will need to have use shared ssl

So ask smartyhost guys that first reissue certificate in your domain name (if you have purchased from them) second install it properly as there is nothing in zen-cart code that has to be modified

Can you try it now.....it is working again! I just want to confirm..i cant believe how earlier today it wasnt working...and now it is

i think you are right...one minute it works...the next it doesnt....I am going to call the hosting company 1st thing in the morning and get them to fix it.....it has to be a problem at their end because i havent done anything.

I'm getting the broken padlock and when I click on it I get a list of all the links on the page
EDITED - SORRY
I just listed all the links and they were mainly http not https
I just checked my last link which was my statcounter.
I removed it and now all is sweet with the padlock

Thanks
Steven

Ok, I had SSL put on my sight, but am getting the same issues with partial security, so my lock box is slashed out.

I can see the problem is some links in my footer going to "top sites" that I'm listed at, and my image header at the top of the page.

I don't know how to fix it.....I really don't want to remove the top listed links, because I do get a lot of traffic from them, and of course, I need my header! :)

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Sorry...site is paperthreads.com/store

Ok, update...

I got the background and header image to work properly, I removed the "top sites" listings from my footer, but I'm still getting a partial certificate.

So, I guess these weren't the issues.

paperthreads,

No link to your site limits the # of responses to your issue

Hi Kobra.

I did leave a link, in the first of the 2 messages I posted.

Here it is again:

paperthreads.com/store

thanks for any insight you can provide!

You do understand what it is and I suggest that you create these in the banner manger and insure that they are selected as SSL enabled there.

Can use css to do some positioning later

I have a site https://www.northernphotoshop.co.uk which is hosted through Bluehost and they have just installed a SSL Certificate on a dedicated IP which I believe is the preferred route. The SSL is a RapidSSL and I see this works on the main index page just fine (This is just a holding page for now).

The Zencart is stored is /Store folder at northernphotoshop.co.uk/store and if I click on LOG IN it displays 'Secure & Non-Secure' message - if I understand the various posts and FAQ pages then I have some images which are still HTTP rather than HTTPS or relative links - how to I find out what items on the page are causing the problems and can anyone give me some really simple starter instructions on how to recify the solution.

I am a photographer by hobby and website creation is just a means to an end - please keep solutions/suggestions simple

Many thanks

I checked in FireFox & IE6 and do not see the issue??

Did you get this corrected?

Problem persists when viewing in IE7..
checked but at moment, could not see where problem lies.

Kobra - no not corrected yet but at least I now know it is a IE7 - Site issue rather me stuffing something up.

Are there any suggestions as to what I can look at to resolve this issue as I have come so far with this project - took the time to buy the Zen Manual - and if I can just get this SSL working then I am ready to go live.

Any suggestions gratefully received

Who did the Template? They seemed to have hard coded links at various places. All your EZ page links for example, use "http" instead of "https". There are other links using the same as well.

I found out by viewing the code for the page and searching for "http:". Also, IE 6 gives an error msg. about Secure & nonSecure, due to the links mentioned above.

href links ahould not be an issue as they only point to another non-secure page BUT if accompanied with an src to an image that is retreived from a http: location or any other src to an http: then this is an issue and you can find these through viewing your source for the secure page
