SSL Problems

[Munt]

Hey folks, I was hoping you could help me troubleshoot through a problem I have been having with my SSL certificate. My host assures my it's installed correctly and suggests it's a problem with my sites code.

My page does not display the lock i have added the relevant bits into the configure.php but to no avail. What's my next port of call?

Live Site

Cat/includes

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mysite.com');
  define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.com');
  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mysite.com');

admin/includes

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.mysite.com');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

Thanks for reading

Working fine - will only show where relevant - signing in etc.
However you are referencing some images incorrectly - favicon.png, plus your Livezilla image (do NOT use absolute path names - why oh why oh why?) /livezilla/image.php?id=03 will suffice.

In the admin configure.php use https for the 1st two lines, to use secured connections.

Absolute legend! I now have my lock! Admin section SSL'd up to. Thank you!

Purely out of curiosity
in the admin section it says "You are protected by a unknown secure SSL connection."

Are there any occasions when the SSL cert will be known to the admin section ?

Yep, by spending a fortune on a 'higher order' SSL, which will offer no increase in security levels.
Can't remember off-hand whether a Certified Domain would make the odds (that's a LOT cheaper) - might try if/when I get some donations.

Nice clean template, BTW. Based on compromise, presumably.
Get yourself Firefox/Yslow - a few wee tweaks to clean up pages - nothing drastic.

I agree with Ridex.

Nice looking site ... Smu**** (Part of FireBug) could save you some bandwidth on your images and you are missing your category images (click a category and look in top right hand corner)... either upload a blank_pixel or remove ... you won't see this in Firefox only IE and Chrome ...

Thanks for the kind words! I just started looking at the compromise templating system. This is using a modified fallback template. I'm having lots of trouble trying to rejig the product display templates (make that failing completely ).

Just installing Yslow now, looks promising. Ta again!

@pgmarshall
Thanks I'm still working on that site ... it's far from finished but good enough for production. I am making it for a friend so I didn't want him working off my heavily modded oscommerce debacle any longer.

I couldn't find Smu**** but I found lots of features I hadn't looked at before. It's much more powerful than I thought.

I'm trying to redo all the stores images at the moment (custom crops for thumbnails etc) but I'm finding having the same thumbnail for the product listing and the product page troublesome.

As regarding a donation I'll gladly to make one when I have some money(in the not distant future), the advice from these forums has been invaluable.
