My client has a shopsite installation that's been running 5+ years (version 10). We recently made the decision to move the site to completely use HTTPS on every page/request. We stumbled through the settings and got things working, but noticed the following:
When we go to the admin panel, the link for the "Orders" section (both the top menu and the button on the start page) link to something like: https://www.<our site>/shop/orderhandler.cgi?rand1=1337190900&rand2=1244652554
Clicking this produces a 404. which the site diverts to another page (wordpress install does that). If I change the URL to https://www.<our site>/shop/ss/orderhandler.cgi?rand1=1337190900&rand2=1244652554
is this a known issue ? (If so, is there a fix?) or did I misconfigure something?
Thanks.
PS: This install was provided by the host (hostmonster). I've noticed they are now offering v12.31. I have already inquired to them if it was possible to upgrade our existing site, would that resolve my issue?
Thanks.
Suddenly getting 404 error for orderhandler.cgi!

Sounds like an SSL URL configuration issue. Go to the Preferences -> Hosting Service menu and make sure the 'ShopSite secure URL' setting includes the 'ss' at the end.

That was it!
Funny how that's the only one with that issue. Odd. Nevertheless, thanks much for the quick (and accurate) response!
