SSL CERTIFCATE ONLY VALID FOR www ADDRESS

Hello,

I have an SSL certificate installed, but I noticed all the links on my site are missing the www in the address, this brings up a warning message saying my certificate is only valid for the www address when I try to access the HTTPS pages

Has anyone experienced this before? What am I doing wrong?

Regards

I found the problem, it's in my config file.
I am using:
https://site.com instead of https://www.site.com

Got it here http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... ssl#p38175

Yea, you need to get an SSL that uses:
*.site.com
instead of just
site.com
or
www.site.com

well that or just do a 301 redirect so everything goes to www.site.com or site.com as they say it can cause duplicate content problems if you don't.
