Problems with Joomla 1.5/VM and secure certificate

    Hi,

    I have a Joomla 1.5.3 and VM 1.1.0 at http://audiotrak.co.uk

    The problem I'm experiencing (like a lot of other people judging by search results) is the transition between https and http while going through the process of buying.

    The certificate I'm using is:
    We have mapped the URL:-
    
    https://web44.secure-secure.co.uk/audiotrak.co.uk/ to http://www.audiotrak.co.uk
    
    Please note the s in https.
    
    This means that any files that are hosted on your main website can also be loaded securely, just link to this URL when you need to securely load a page.
    Code (markup):
    Now the problem is that after a user registers they get an email with a confirmation link that points to https://web44.secure-secure.co.uk/audiotrak.co.uk/blablabla (random code) but when they click it it says that it's not valid.

    Then I disabled the confirmation bit so people just have to got o shop and buy, but if someone is in the process of ordering or checking out and clicks somewhere outside of the shop it gives a 404.

    Is there something I messed up in the VM settings or is it a known bug and not a fixable one? If so, how else can I accept payments on the site using a secure connection?
