https in admin

[marksodr]

Folks:

I just set up a new store. I notice that if I go into admin as https, the minute I switch pages, it reverts to http. How do I stay in https?

Many THX!

Change the follow line to reflect your secure path

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', ''); // eg, http://localhost or - https://localhost should not be NULL for productive servers

Hey Richard:

 

This is what I changed my config file to:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

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

 

Still, if I go to https//www.ninevehapparel.com/catalog/admin, I start out in secure server mode. Then if I go to view an order, it goes back to insecure mode. Since these orders show credit card info, it concerns me. What I changed above per your suggestion was the HTTP_SERVER line to be https.

 

What am I doing wrong?

 

THX,

Mark

Whether this will work will depend upon how up to date your server set up is. But you can try putting this in the .htaccess file in your 'admin' folder

 

SSLRequireSSL

ErrorDocument 403 https://www.ninevehapparel.com/admin/

post the top few lines of your configure.php file here. i know for a fact, that if you change the very top http:// to https:// it will only go in secure mode.

Here are the first few lines of my configure.php from the includes directory:

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

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

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

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.ninevehapparel.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

Vger:

Perhaps I'm clueless, but I doen't see such a file. Every file in that directory is a .php. Is this a new file I need to create? What is the full name?

THX,

Mark

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

OK Everyone!

I'm a complete idiot--I hadn't changed the line you all told me to and it took care of it.

Thank you!!!!

yes, sometimes we try to see more in the answer and gets going every which way. i know sometimes i get that way, just have to make sure to read it a few times to make sure you understand.

[marksodr]

OK--I just noticed a side affect of doing this...

 

If I try to enter the catalog just using http instead of https it hangs with the dialog box telling about my security certificate not matching my site name. The box is kind of flashing and if I click yes to continue it still just hangs.... This is the normal dialog box that I would just click once when entering https....

[Guest]

changing the configure.php file in the admin section has nothing to do with the catalog section . . . did you change anything in the catalog/includes/configure.php instead of the admin/includes/configure.php?

[Guest]

ok i just went to your site, you do have errors in that configure.php file.

 

post the catalog/includes/configure.php without the database info so we can go over it

[marksodr]

THX for looking at this. Here is what I am running right now. This is from the includes directory:

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

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

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

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/nineveha/www/www/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/nineveha/www/www/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/nineveha/www/www/catalog/'); // absolute path required

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

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

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/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

[Guest]

this is your admin/includes/configure.php

 

this line (second http)

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.ninevehapparel.com');

 

needs to be:

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.ninevehapparel.com');

 

this line:

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/nineveha/www/www/catalog/');

needs to be:

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/nineveha/www/www/');

[marksodr]

Still seems to have the problem.... I saved the original file before I tried making changes and I'll see if that at least works. The HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER entries appeared somewhere along the line while making these changes. They weren't in the original file.

[Guest]

ok better off getting an empty configure.php file for both the catalog and admin section and then piecing them together. make sure you have backups.
