SSL Issue - Http to Https change

Hey all, so was wondering how to change the site url to be https:// instead of http:// in the softaculous install as we had an ssl installed.

You goto store settings and click the box under the "server" tab. This should enable SSL on account, checkout, etc. If you need, you can hit the configs too, and the htaccess as well if you want https on literally every page http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=126070

Where would I do this?

also I had my OC installed to the URL http://www.mydomain.com

should I change the install to https://www.mydomain.com

lastly, I keep getting an error on the SSL saying that there is a name mismatch - something having to do with the ssl issued to www.mydomain.com and me using mydomain.com. Also when I cut or delete the https:// par in the address it allows me to access my site without any https.

do you want your entire site to run under ssl or just the account and checkout pages

it is an E-Commerce site. My perception of a good site is when the home page is secure, followed by the most important pages ( account, checkout).

I am having a small other issue - that is with the redirects. No clue how to tackle that one because I was able to access two versions of my store simply by cutting out the https:// part from the address bar and the browser had no problem opening an unsecured version of an otherwise secure page;

I have this gut feeling the site is not 100% - I may be over thinking it.
