SSL and Google sitemaps

I just had my OC1.5.6.4 site moved to SSL successfully.

However, there is a problem with the sitemap(domain.com/index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap) submitted to Google webmasters tools. The URLs in the sitemaps are all begining with http:// and not https. Is there something I can do so the Google sees my site at https instead of http only as evident in the sitemap?

Also, if I type www.mydomain.com, it is going to non-secure version. it is only after I type https://www.mydomain.com it goes to the secure address.

Following is what the .htaccess looks like:

You can try to change http:// to https:// in the HTTP_SERVER.

This is what I'm trying to do:
However, the http://www.domain.com/ is still redirecting to the non-secure version for some odd reason.

Config files look like: I've used several iterations of the code in .htaccess, nothing seems to work.
Any ideas what have I missed?

the current conditions in the .htaccess file won't be triggered for http://www.domain.com/
only for http://domain.com/

Hi ASG,
First of all you have to set your config.php to this one: (I mean the root not the admin)

<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://domainname.com/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'https://domainname.com/image');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://domainname.com/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://domainname.com/image');


// DIR


define('DIR_APPLICATION', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/catalog/');
define('DIR_SYSTEM', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/system/');
define('DIR_DATABASE', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/system/database/');
define('DIR_LANGUAGE', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/catalog/language/');
define('DIR_TEMPLATE', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/catalog/view/theme/');
define('DIR_CONFIG', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/system/config/');
define('DIR_IMAGE', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/image/');
define('DIR_CACHE', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/system/cache/');
define('DIR_DOWNLOAD', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/download/');
define('DIR_LOGS', '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/system/logs/');

// DB
define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOSTNAME', '');
define('DB_USERNAME', '');
define('DB_PASSWORD', '');
define('DB_DATABASE', '');
define('DB_PREFIX', 'oc_');
?>

Next step is your htacccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
# If your installation does not run on the main web folder make sure you folder it does run in ie. / becomes /shop/
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^download/(.*) /index.php?route=error/not_found [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

Third step is to connect to your admin Opencart and :
Goto to system, settings, server and clic on "USE SSL"

If you also need to have your admin protected by ssl (it's more secure) you'll have to do this:

-1- Open admin/config.php and complete this with your domain name (with or without www)

<?php
// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://domainname.com/admin/');
define('HTTP_CATALOG', 'https://domainname.com/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://domainname.com/admin/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://domainname.com/');

-2- HTACCESS
At the top of your HTACCESS
AddDefaultCharset ISO-8859-1
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
AuthUserFile /var/www/vhosts/DOMAINNAME.COM/admin/.htpasswd
AuthName "Administration Sécurisée"
AuthType Basic
require valid-user
Satisfy Any


Next you will have to create a file called HTPASSWD
In this file you will have to create an ID and a password


-3- HTACCESS
Copy this one wherever you want in your htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule .* https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

I use OC 1.5.5.1 and it works very fine

PS: I forgot to tell you that you also need to activate SEO revriting URL's in sytem, settings, server

Nope. www.domain.com still redirecting to http version.

Have you changed the .htaccess since my last message?
Because this code looks like to work only for http://domain.com/ requests, not http://www.domain.com/
You probably need to replace it with

Deepvision's SSL extension did the trick for https everywhere.

There was a problem with http://domain.com still redirecting to non-http version, which I fixed using the 301 redirect in CPANEL by redirecting http://domain.com to https://www.domain.com
