Dear All,

Anyone know how to get round this problem: 

My local path to my catalog is at: 
/home/s/i/signprintweb/public_html/catalog/ 

When using the shared secure server my local path changes to: 
/fs/home/13/s/i/signprintweb/public_html/catalog 


How the hell do you set this up, when the cart calls the checkout on the secure server, it can't find the path as it changes as above. 

I have tried everything...

If anyone would like to try and fix this for me I would be eternally grateful, I would even be prepared to pay.

I have a 400+ product populated store at: http://www.signprint.co.uk/catalog that needs me to install SSL on, but you can test on a new store I have setup for testing and debugging this problem, this uses the same servers and setup as my live store.


Here are the detail logins for a test cart you could try and fix:


Domain: pbcleaning.co.uk

You can login at:

http://cp.pbcleaning.co.uk

login: pbcleaning
pass: pbclean

Ftp access is via   ftp.signprint.co.uk    login: pbcleaning   pass: pbclean

Store install at: http://www.pbcleaning.co.uk/catalog/install/

Database name, when using SQL needs to be:  'server13'

Path physical to catalog is: /home/p/b/pbcleaning/public_html/catalog/

But when accessing via SSL the full system path to the webspace changes to:
/fs/home/13/p/b/pbcleaning/public_html 

SSL server  path to catalog: https://www1.securesiteserver.co.uk/pbcleaning/catalog/

SSL Server is: www1.securesiteserver.co.uk

SQL Database is:  Name:  'pbcleaning'   Pass: 'mysql'


Feel free to change site via control panel, delete, re-install MySql / SSL as required, or change passwords for the account whilst working on it.

I would pay up to US$50 to get it working.


The problem is that on calling checkout and switching to the SSL, the error log can be viewed through the control panel at: http://cp.pbcleaning.co.uk, login: pbcleaning, pass: pbclean.

Also see: http://cp.pbcleaning.co.uk/help.cp?page=ssl for details on specific SSL / MYSQL settings.

Please change the password whilst working on the site, to work on it solo if required.

Am I asking too much !?  Maybe - please only try and fix if you are a bit of an expert !

Kindest Regards,
