Hello, When i run the install script and enable the ssl with https check box ,the checkout link in the cart takes me to an unavailible page. but if i install the script without this check box value true, the checkout works fine, it just doesnt go into a secure connection when i checkout my order, Now I know my hosting comes with ssl. so anyone have any idea's?
Thanks alot

Have U configured the web server for ssl connections?

no i havnt, do you know how to do that with cpanel??

your webhosting company will most likely need to install the ssl on the server for you . Good luck we had ours in stalled today but they stuffed it up

i have the same problem, however ssl has been installed and double checked by my host, but whenever i try to create a new account or checkout as guest, or anything that goes to an "https" it says "page not found"

trying to see if its an install error on my part.

For loging in and creating account maybe the prob is on the https cookies check your configuration file

I'm having exact same problem. . I'm on a virtual dedicated server at GoDaddy. My SSL is installed correctly and pages render correctly with https on url. But when I enable SSL in my config files, no one can login or checkout. Site wont even send forgotten password stuff when SSL is enabled.

I turn SSL off and site goes back to working perfectly.
No errors in access logs either.

Any ideas anyone?

Config file is this...

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

Having the same problem. When I hold my mouse over the checkout button the url shows as ] "https://mydomain.comcheckout_shipping.php/(SID INFO)" (I used mydomain instead of my real domain). The point is, there's no backslash after the .com . Any ideas on how to fix that?

Okay, fixed my own problem by updating the configure files as instructed in the knowledge base.
