ssl www and htaccess question/prob

My client purchased an ssl for their site but the problem is that the ssl is registered for "www.myclientswebsite.com" but when using Zen Cart every address uses "myclientswebsite.com" (no www) and it's producing certificate errors. I found an article online about adding code to the ".htaccess" file to point the address always to "www" but that messed with my cart and I couldn't login or anything (I probably typed it in wrong but I followed the directions...) so I took that back out. Is their anyway to eleviate the problem without having to buy another ssl for the site without the "www"?

Thanks

Re: ssl www and htaccess question/prob

A simpler approach would be just to put the correct URL in your configure.php files ...
