xcart & ssl

problem

[podizzle]

hi guys, i purchased an ssl certificate and am trying to use it with x-cart. in config.php there is $xcart_http_host and $xcart_https_host which i set to 'www.mydomainname.com' and 'ssl.perfora.net/mydomainname.com' respectfully. does that second value look right?

the problem isn't when i go to [mydomainname.com...] that works great the problem is when i try [mydomainname.com...] this bounces me back to a page called http://www.mydomainname.com/?xid=508eb5aeb62f34e635de261a8c2ad3d1 that looks identical to my http://www.mydomainname.com.

i've also tried http://ssl.perfora.net/mydomainname.com/secure_login.php this one gives me a strange message 'redirection limit for this URL exceeded. this may be caused by cookies that are blocked'. anyone know what that means?

any ideas or knowledge are greatly appreciated.

MIght sound silly but have you tried Xcart themselves?

Whenever Ive asked a question the reply was pretty quick and in depth.

X-cart has some funny javascripting in it and some SSL don't like it. Basically, if you are trying to use an inexppensive SSL like openSSL, forget it , you'll get errors. You need to stick with a SSL that costs a bit $.

X-cart is aware of this javascript problem and SSL, but I don't think they'll change it if other SSLs work.

thanks for the info. i have a SSL purchased from geotrust.com. the quickSSL premium its called. not sure if its good but my x-cart program says im equipped with these modules so you think it would go ahead and work.

Net::SSLeay 1.08
libCURL libcurl/7.10.3 OpenSSL/0.9.6g ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
CURL executable curl 7.9.5 (i586-pc-linux-gnu) libcurl/7.10.3 OpenSSL/0.9.6c ipv6 zlib/1.2.1
OpenSSL executable OpenSSL 0.9.6c 21 dec 2001

i've tried activating all these modules but any php script that is more advanced than 'hello world' wont work :(
