Contact page screwed up

My store, https://www.forestfrogs.com is hosted by yahoo. In order to activate SSL, I had to place zencart in a folder named SSL, and access the site via the url: https://p12.secure.hostingprod.com/@www.forestfrogs.com/ssl/zencart/
to avoid a security certificate error.

Now, when people try to use my contact page, when they click "send", they get the following errors:

Sorry, is your name correct? Our system requires a minimum of 2 characters. Please try again.
Sorry, my system does not understand your email address. Please try again.
Did you forget your message? We would like to hear from you. You can type your comments in the text area below.

I'm assuming there is some reference in the PHP scripting I need to change, as I did when I moved everything to the SSL server, but I can't find it.

Anyone else have this problem?
Jim

Re: Contact page screwed up

Have you done a search for Yahoo on the forum? Lots of folks have had problems ...

Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

Searched for "yahoo" and "contact page" and neither one found anything directly related.

Re: Contact page screwed up

I think I solved the problem. Not sure why this works, but in the configure.php file in the INCLUDES folder, I changed both the:

define('HTTP_SERVER', '');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', '');

paths to the secure server URL, and now the contact form works.

So, while the instructions in the configure.php file suggest setting the path thus:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://p12.secure.hostingprod.com/@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME');

But, if you are using Yahoo for hosting, and enabled SSL, in the configure.php file, both the http and https servers need to be set to the https server URL. e.g.:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://p12.secure.hostingprod.com/@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://p12.secure.hostingprod.com/@YOUR_DOMAIN_NAME/')
;
