SSL Help

Is SSL working?

[backwater]

I purchased an SSL for my site I'm building. I purchased for my FQDN, www.mysite.com (ex). I have my store set up at www.mysite.com/onlinestore So on my home page, I have links to [mysite.com...]

It goes there, but changes back to http://www.mysite.com/onlinestore

Why does it not stay [?...]

by the way, you can type in [mysite.com...] and it does give you the SSL yes/no prompt and it does work. Thanks

Rewrite rule in .htaccess or redirect in php code probably.

So what do I do, in "don't know crap about code" terms.....

Hi backwater, welcome to WebmasterWorld.

It sounds like your cart needs to be configured to use the SSL. Most carts have a setting where you can tell it to use secure pages, and give the correct URL.

You'll get the prompt if you load a page via https and link to images via regular http.

Hope this helps.

OK, so if I understand what you are saying, you have constructed a hyperlink on one of your pages, that actually points to:https://www.mysite.com/onlinestore

(i.e when you hover the mouse over this link, this is the address that appears in the status bar at the bottom)?

And when you click this link, do you see the https:// address appear in the URL bar at the top?
What do you mean by "it changes back" exactly?

What shopping cart are you using?

[backwater]

Right on my home page I have a button and a text hyperlink to [mysite...] and when you scroll the mouse on it, that's what it shows, when you click on it, initially it shows that address, but then it changes to http://..... and it shows the http://.... in the address bar, not [.......]

I'm using digishop 3.0

Same thing happens if I type it directly in the address bar, it does give you the prompt, but then the adddress appears as http://

Just can't figure out why it doesn't stay https?

Thanks for the help!

I'm not familiar with digishop at all. Is it PHP/ASP/JSP based? Maybe you should seek help from the vendor?

Sounds like when you move away from the front page of the store like to a category or something then it goes to http:// instead of https:// if that is the case your shopping cart system either needs to be configured for ssl or change the category links to https://

[backwater]

it's the main page of the shopping cart, not just the categories. It's when I go from my regular home page to the first page of my shopping cart. I'm going to try to get support from digishop or my web host on it and see what they have to say.

Try changing the link from your frontpage to the online store and point it to the exact index page ie. (https://www.mysite.com/onlinestore/index.html) or something to that effect.
