Configuring for SSL after install?

[gritz]

just a simple question, but I couldn't find it in the KB or forums ... when I first set up the software to test it out and explore, I set it for non-SSL, even though there is a shared SSL with my hosting account. (Needed to get the SSL info from my ISP.) Now I have the info and would like to switch SSL on ... but I can't find anywhere in the admin area or the config files to put the info in for SSL support.

 

Do I need to completely re-install? Or can someone point me to a KB article / forum post / config file where I can do this?

 

am I missing something obvious?

 

thanks for the help....

No need to reinstall. Just make the changes in your configure.php files.

what do we change ? I tried to just change the ENABLE_SSL from 'false to 'true but still no go...

 

Search is normally my friend --- but have not found anything yet to help me on this one...

 

 

would it be

define('ENABLE_SSL', thedomainname.com);

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://thedomainname.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://thedomainname.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'thedomainname.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'thedomainname.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/shop/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', '/shop/images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', '/shop/icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

set it to true then change the define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://thedomainname.com'); it will be your servers name so ask them it will also start with https. when it is all configured-- then go to create accounts or checkout and look to see if the address bar changes to the servers name and in IE you will get a padlock --lower right info bar make sure you have the info/status bar enabled under the view toolbar in IE.

 

It will switch back and forth SSL will kick in when you go to pages that require info.
