biohazardbill Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok I am very new to e-commerce and all this. I have installed os-commerce and played around with it but now I am ready to do it right to get ready for full deployment. When I installed it the last time I did not set up SSL and since this will be a purchasing site I think I need to. What is the proper way to do this? The Catalog files will be installed to: www.mydomain.com And my ssl folder will be at: www.mydomain.com/ssl (has to be this way due to my provider) I have tried installing it by using that path and when I go to the admin section it says SSL still isnt working(that little thing in the bottom left) so I deleted all the files and will do a new install upon getting a few pointers. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 post a link to the site. also in your includes/configure.php you need to set ssl to true and place the proper path there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozcsys Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok I set it up again... trying to use a ssl connection and yet it still is not working... Not that the site is installed how can I install the SSL connection after the fact? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It is trying to use ssl but there seems to be a problem with your shared ssl path as you are using https://www.cranetechnologies.com instead of the shared path. You need to get the exact path you are supposed to use from your hosting company and enter it in your configure.php files. The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazardbill Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok this is what my ISP provided: 1. Open your File Manager, click "Create Subdirectory," and name it "ssl". (Note: All letters must be in lower case.) 2. Place the web pages and forms you want to protect into the ssl subdirectory. (Note: Be sure to update any links that refer to those files.) 3. View the secure pages at your domain: http://www.cranetechnologies.com/ssl Your site will then redirect to our secure server so that information submitted from the secure pages will be encrypted. The domain address in your browser's location field will look like this: https://s.p4.hostingprod.com/@cranetechnologies.com The "s" in https is the secure version of the http protocol. It uses SSL to transport data between systems. "https://s.p4.hostingprod.com" is Yahoo!'s SSL Secure server. Am I supposed to put files in the ssl directory? If so, which files am I supposed to put in there and how will they get accessed? Do I have to do a redirect? Man I feel dumb... just havent had any real experience with this and this kinda fell into my lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biohazardbill Posted November 30, 2004 Author Share Posted November 30, 2004 Ok in the configure.php file in the includes I attempted both: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.cranetechnologies.com'); define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.cranetechnologies.com/ssl'); define('ENABLE_SSL', true); & define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.cranetechnologies.com'); define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://s.p4.hostingprod.com/@cranetechnologies.com '); define('ENABLE_SSL', true); no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
