Secure to non-secure transition

[RobRoy]

Hi All,

Newbie SSL problems.

I'm currently designing my site, which seems to be working just fine without SSL, but I would like to use SSL on Checkout pages and Customer Login.
After setting the SSL Configuration and selecting "Test", everything is OK,
When downloading orders I get the following message:

Actinic received an request forbidden error from the web server. The server is not properly configured to allow Actinic to run CGI scripts from the cgi-bin. Run Web | Configure Web Site Details... to review your web site configuration.

After clicking "Retry" a few times the orders do get downloaded. (without SSL I don't get this message).

Another problem is, after the customer completes his/her order and clicks on the "Done" button on the Receipt page and is then transfered back to the non-secure site, the cart is still indicating it has items within, (not so without SSL) clicking on "view cart" then updates the cart as empty.

I'm not sure if I have made a mistake in the settings or if it is a hosting problem, I'm on a Unix/Linux Server, Hosting is provided by "ehostpros.com"

My network setting are:

HTTPPROXYMODE 0
HTTPPROXYADDRESS
HTTPPROXYPORT 80

HTTPPROXYPASSWORD

Any help would be very much appreciated

Thanks

This is a shared SSL cert right - it must be judging by the settings?

FTP to the SSLFTP host and make sure that your cgi-bin and acatalog folders are setup correctly with the right permissions.

I'd check with your host - of course, I don't know what their support is like, but they would be the best next choice... after that, if they aren't helpful, then you should get a host that works well with Actinic - several frequent this forum, but I doubt you'll get the price they ehostpros charges - sometimes you have to pay a little more ...
