The https is because you don't have an SSL certificate on that site and so you go to the server's default SSL.

I'll take a look at the configuration settings. The checkout is trying to use SSL and should be set to non-SSL.
I changed it to add the s at the end of Http because I thought I had to. but if I'm using paypal, google checkout, and mailed payment, I wouldn't need a secure server, would i?
i just went into config and changed the secure server https back to http, since I don't think I need a secure server.
but there apparently is a bug I'm having with the category list. I can't change the order because an item is checked out (this is in vm component not main joomla admin) but the vm forum said vm doesn't use the checked out thingie, just the joomla CMS. do you know anything about this?
Fixed . I deleted 2 old cache files and advanced search, checkout, and registration are working again.

Thank you! Do you have any insight on the other questions?

You can change the category display order in the main joomla admin content>category manager and then change the numbers under order.
The category display order in virtuemart can be changed in the category tree using the text boxes on the far right (located next to the remove column).

No.
FYI
Google checkout requires you to have a SSL certificate if you use there API to proccess order's on your site, before it goes to google checkout.

ok, so I'm back to square one. How do I get a SSL certificate?
Quote:google checkout.
Virtuemart doesn't directly support GoogleCheckout yet but you can use Google Checkout's new email invoice feature to collect payment (no SSL needed for email invoices. You send them from your Google account).
In the cart you'd probably use the same setting as you do for money orders if you want to use GC email invoicing.
I'll have to look on VirtueMart's forums to see when they're planning to add support for direct payments by Google Checkout.

There was a bug with reordering categories. Virtuemart released a new version late last night that fixes that bug and a few others:
Quote:VirtueMart 1.0.9 is available!
The following bugs have been fixed:
* PayPal IPN times out (order status is not updated)
* Category Reordering doesn't work
* Cannot delete products or categories
* Problem with https redirection on Joomla! 1.0.12
* Authorize.net module doesn't process payments, is always in "TEST Mode"

The patch is here:

It's a very minor maintenance release. There are only a few changed files to upload and no database changes. If you want I can do the upgrade for you.
