OK,
I want to be able to type in www.m-n-mhumidors.com to get to the website.


But you suggested I put everything into https.

Now I have to type in https://www.m-n-mhumidors.com just to get to the website (I think that would cut down on sales some as well)


So...

How do I fix this?

How do I fix this?It's not a problem with Squirrelcart, so there's nothing that we can "fix". Unfortunately, your server's configuration requires that any file accessed via a secure URL is placed in a different directory than your normal website. This is beyond our control.

Is your home page going to be the store front, or will there be another page that visitors will see first? If there's another page, I assume you'll be linking to your cart from there, in which case the cart's URL will not matter much.

If your cart's front page IS your homepage, then you'll need to create some sort of redirect to the secure location from the regular location. Keep in mind though that this may have an impact on your search engine rankings.
