Question:
I have a site security certificate and I set Host Variable #1 with an "https" URL. It appears to be working, but my browser is giving me a security warning message. Or, my browser says: Although this page is encrypted, the information you have entered is to be sent over an unencrypted connection and could easily be read by a third party.

Answer:
When you view a page in "https", every image on that page also needs to be loaded in "https" or your web browser will give you a security warning. So check all URLs in your vars.dat and lang.dat file to jpg, gif, png files, etc. Such as Host Variables #3, 4 and 5. Database Variables #2 and 16. Secure Server Variables #5 and 14. Also, you may have URLs to image files in your lang.dat file.

If you get this type of error message when clicking the Continue Shopping button, you may set HV#2 with an "https" URL. Or, adjust the "return" form field for your items to be "https".
