SSL Problem

[Beermonster]

I'm having a real problem with a SSL, afaik it's installed correctly if I go to my site https: it shows the right info but shows the content from httpsdocs but I don't want to have 2 directory's to maintain, besides I've tried copying all the files from httpdocs to httpsdocs and the site didn't show like it should.

If I enable Use a single directory for housing SSL and non-SSL content or create a sym link the SSL stops working, I can go to https the site still shows with errors and the SSL is not showing to be working, the blue bar in the url box has gone, this is driving me crazy please could someone help

TIA

Make sure you dont have an htaccess file that is redirecting you to non SSL connections. You can trace through what is happening by using FireBug (in FireFox) or Fiddler (in any browser) to see what is happening.

Even if I remove the .htaccess it still does the same, I've attached a couple of pictures,
image3 is without "Use a single directory for housing SSL" ticked and it works
image4 is with it ticked and it doesn't work

What is the url of the site?

it comes up fine in SSL - the only problem is that you have static links to http resources like these

<link href="http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/rss/default/@new" title="New Products" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link href="http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/rss/default/@specials/0" title="Special/Discount Products" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.scalemodelshop.co.uk/model-weathering/pigments/mig-productions.html" />


so those wont display or it will prompt you
you would be better off doing relative links instead like this

<link href="/rss/default/@new" title="New Products" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link href="/rss/default/@specials/0" title="Special/Discount Products" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" />

Thanks I changed the static links I had but all the others should be relative, I've even tried removing the whole of the footer and it still didn't work.

But it's not working on the main page only, if I go to any other page especially checkout it stops working again.

Fix, my host did something that seems to have sorted it out
