Miva Merchant Security Warnings

Security warning in miva merchant - please help!

[ddesign]

Hello -

I'm having trouble with Miva Merchant. Does anyone use this shopping cart?

I get security warnings almost everytime I try to do something. The site does indeed have an installed SSL certificate.

The product pages AND images do not need to be on the secure server, right? So if they are just on the normal http server, then I get a warning over and over that the page contains secure AND non-secure items. The 'non secure items' are the images, correct?

The first problem annoys the customers and some end up canceling, then the 2nd problem prevents customers from ordering at all.

Can anyone help?

Have you uploaded your images to the recommended directory?

Do you have the proper paths set up in the domain settings?

Open your admin and on the top left click on domain settings and then on the Site Configuration link on that page. Double check the graphics settings against the location of your images. That's where the problem is.

Conard,

How simple, of course, that makes so much sense.

The graphic root directory is /Merchant2/, but my images are uploaded from the web's image folder.

Do I create a folder within the /web/ called Merchant2, and then move all of the images on the shop cart pages there?

Will that fix my problem?

MANY MAnY THaNKS!

p.s... and do I delete the s that I added to the image paths?

[domain...] name here.com/images/image name here.jpg

And use
http://www.domain name here.com/Merchant2/image name here.jpg instead?

Again, THANK YOU.

Yes, Just delete the s in the image call and Merchant will change the URL when it goes into secure mode.
You can just dump all of the images into the /Merchant2/ folder or create an image folder inside of the Merchant2 directory, which is a better idea.
I put all images inside a directory that is a sub-directory of Merchant2 as you can then drop in a simple .htaccess file to block all hot linking.

You have been so much help, thank you!

I created a folder called Merchant2 within the /web/, and saved an image to that folder, but when I replace domain.com/images/image name.jpg with domain.com/Merchant2/image name.jpg the image is broken on the page.

Might you have any idea why?

[Conard]

This is where you need to have your imahes:
http://www.domain.com/Merchant2/image-name-here.jpg

That directory should all ready be there holding the Merchant files.
As I said above, you could put a folder named images inside of the /Merchant2/ directory to make it easier to keep track of them.
