Yes, I have EV SSL with Comodo. You maybe right about Host Gator. I just switched to them not to long ago. They do not want to seem to help much either.
I tried both those settings in SCCP and it would not let me. I had it on FTP.
Did the other test you mentioned and this is what it says
CoffeeCup Shopping Cart Server Validator for PRO version.
Server Configuration
Url to reach site : "minerva-gallery.com".
Web server software: Apache
PHP seems to be installed as CGI.
Guest operating system: Linux.
PHP Version
OK - installed version of PHP on this server is: 5.2.17.
PHP Extensions
OK - found all PHP features needed to run the cart scripts.
Session Data
OK - successfully wrote and read session data.
Connectivity with PayPal
OK - successfully contacted the PayPal server.
Connectivity with Google Checkout

File Structure
WARNING - File './page.cls.php' does not exist or is significantly smaller than expected. This may not be a problem, test the functioning of your shop itself. This test is not reliable on servers that are not Linux/Unix (see test on PHP version if this may be the case).
Writable Directory Test
WARNING - Could not open './../store/test.tmp' for writing. Some Shopping Cart Creator Pro functionality (e.g. the stock control) and some payment gateways (all except PayPal and Google Checkout) depend on being able to store data on the server. You should not ignore this warning
Mail Configuration
OK - path to Sendmail is: /usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i
Finished testing.
