Put site on secure server -- can access any of it with https:// or http://
Got certificate -- unfortunately they just asked for the domain name on the form without warning that that alone would be the certificate name WITHOUT the WWW and it makes a difference! (arrrgghh) -- working the host over to get that changed.
Anyhow, I have the following set:
Secure Site Payment Script URL:
https://www.mysite.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi
Path to Secure Site media Directory URL:
https://www.mysite.com/ccp51/media
and Global -> Store Settings use secure checkout set to YES
I have the SEO mod (boy, that's another story), but my checkout link is still (CGIVAR)common_url(/CGIVAR)&pg=ste_chkout_proc it's always worked fine that way -- and still does, except it does not go to https://
I assume that the "Secure Site Payment Script URL" and the Global setting above is supposed to redirect so I should not have to hard code all the checkout links with https://
So what am I missing?
I can put the URL - https://www.mysite.com/ccp51/cgi-bin/cp … hkout_proc and it goes secure (after giving me the invalid site name warning because of the WWW issue - arrgghh), but clicking the links set up up as (CGIVAR)common_url(/CGIVAR)&pg=ste_chkout_proc just takes me into the http:// checkout.
I haven't gone further into the checkout yet to see if it EVER goes into secure mode.
Any ideas?

In the Admin area. Are these settings correct?
Main Menu - Global Settings - Manage Program Settings
The top fields should be something like
https://www.website.com/cgi-bin/cp-app.cgi (whatever the correct path is on your server)
and
https://www.website.com/store/media
Only the links into actual checkout should go secure. All other links around the cart should not go secure.
In the Manage Store Setting Area
Double check that 'Use Secure Checkout' dropdown is set to yes.
Checkout links in layout code look like (CGIVAR)common_url_checkout(/CGIVAR).
If all this above seems right in your settings... send me a URL. You can do so privately via PM if you like.

Yep, everything was right. Checked it many times.
But your checkout link caught my eye because I had never seen it written that way.
My checkout link has been - (CGIVAR)common_url(/CGIVAR)&pg=ste_chkout_proc since day one
I pulled a copy of an original layout and the checkout link was as you show - (CGIVAR)common_url_checkout(/CGIVAR) I guess I changed it in the beginning of site design somehow. It always worked fine, but I guess it's not the right format for the script to pick it up and change it for the secure checkout option.
I changed my link to (CGIVAR)common_url_checkout(/CGIVAR) and it works that way... Yay!
Thanks..

Sorry, I have been away...
The gist of it can be found in my questions to Nick in this thread https://forum.kryptronic.com/viewtopic.php?id=14883
