ssl url problem

[Darren]

v7 is pretty new isn't it? perhaps its a bug?

Actinic is basically working as designed. Nothing actually gets uploaded to the 'secure' acatalog folder. In cases where the host has set http and https to be in the same ftp root, this is fine. However, in a setup such as yours with the http and https in separate ftp locations a link needs to be set up between the two by the host.

Hope this clarifies things.

thanks for helping to clear things up...

just one thing, you say that having the http and https in the same ftp root would be fine, isn't that what i have? -im getting confused with that and 'seperate ftp locations'.

my directory structure is:

[ftp root]: /
[http folder]: /httpdocs
[https fodler]: /httpsdocs
[cgi-bin]: /cgi-bin

-one root, with subdirectories.

Hi there.

Don't worry, servers confuse me too

What I was trying to say (badly!) is that on some servers, the httpdocs (or equivalent) is used for http and https. There is only one web root' folder for the secure and insecure areas.

Yours is not like this, you have one folder for https, and one folder for http. Although your cgi-bin would appear to be shared between http and https.

Hope this helps.

Hi there.

Copying the css, js and any images referenced should do the trick.

Hope this helps.

[AndiC]

seems to do the trick!

Thanks

Great news!

Don't forget that if you change any images on checkout, or if you upgrade Actinic. You will need to copy the files across again.

Hi - would like to reopen this issue please. I've just installed ssl and I have an http dir and an https dir. The checkout works fine, padlock shows and all that, but the images and css don't show/work. When I look at https dir with an ftp client there is not acatalog subdir.

I don't mind manually copying jpgs and css files over, but do I have to create an acatalog directory first?

Any help would be appreciated. I got the ssl to keep customers happy that their details are secure, but I didn't want to penalise them with an ugly checkout page!

[afm]

I've manually created an https://www.mydomain.com/acatalog directory and uploaded the company logo, actinic.css and a couple of other images.

The checkout page looks a lot better as the logo is now showing. BUT the css doesn't seem to have kicked in because I'm not getting the font and size I've set previously.

Is there a different template for checkout pages using ssl?

After a considerable amount of searching I finally found the answer to my ssl problem on this thread

As it was the early hours of Sunday morning I was rather grateful to say the least and now I have my checkout pages fully ssl'ed and matching the layout of everything else.
