Getting error with https

Post by sldhana »

The site I am working on has the SSL certificate installed. I tested this by inputting this url (http://www.sonoraglobal.com.au) here http://www.digicert.com/help/.

My question is, are there any other setup steps that needs to be done to get the https link working. I thought all I had to do was then to redirect the site's cart to https://www.sonoraglobal.com.au/viewcart.php, but every time I do that, the images don't show up. Checked the logs, and it says the images are returning a 404 error for the https url.

This is my first time dealing with ssl in an apache server environment - so I am not sure if I need to set any rewrite rules.

There is a ssl folder in the directory and I tried putting the images there (thought something would work, but obviously it didn't). Also, this is a hosted site, so I won't have access to the config files. Please give me some hints on what I did wrong. :?:

Do you have rewrite rules for the http version of the site? if so they may need to be defined for the https version as well in the apache config. If you link in http:// images from an https:// page certain browsers (IE) will not load them until the user interacts with a hideous prompt.
