southwest50s.co.uk Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 Hi all, another newbie sorry guys :) Ive been looking into putting a shop on my site and I came across this which looks like just what I want. My host is OneandOne(UK) Im on Linux I have access to a shared SSL connection and 1 mysql database I have set it up and all seems to be working fine, so far anyway ;) Ive only setup payment by paypal for the moment https://sslrelay.com/southwest50s.co.uk/catalog/ I have a couple of questions tho. 1. The most important thing is, how can I make sure that it is SECURE??? 2. What should I CHMOD the configure.php file? 3. I only want to sell stuff in the UK can I delete all the other zones and countries from the database in phpmyadmin??? I started to do it via the admin panel but there were loads. 4. Can I edit the outgoing emails? if so where are they stored. 5. Do I need to add a .htaccess file to the admin directory as the isnt a login? 6. If use a frameset to hide the sslreley.com bit (http://www.southwest50s.co.uk/shop) I dont get the padlock :( as the frameset isnt a SSL page but if I get the properties of the page it shows "SSL 3.0, RC4 with 128 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange". Is there anyway that I could display the padlock? That will do for now :D i will think of some more later Thanks guys James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 1. The most important thing is, how can I make sure that it is SECURE??? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You have SSL. It seems to be working correctly. Going to accounts or checkout switches it to https and the padlock. See 5 below for admin. 2. What should I CHMOD the configure.php file? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 777 to set it up and then 644 after that. 3. I only want to sell stuff in the UK can I delete all the other zones and countries from the database in phpmyadmin??? I started to do it via the admin panel but there were loads. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Another way is to record the UK row, drop all of the rows and then add just the UK row back manually. 4. Can I edit the outgoing emails? if so where are they stored. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd have to poke at the code which I don't have here. Anyone else?5. Do I need to add a .htaccess file to the admin directory as the isnt a login? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You need to secure admin. This is one way to do it.6. If use a frameset to hide the sslreley.com bit (http://www.southwest50s.co.uk/shop) I dont get the padlock :( as the frameset isnt a SSL page but if I get the properties of the page it shows "SSL 3.0, RC4 with 128 bit encryption (High); RSA with 1024 bit exchange". Is there anyway that I could display the padlock? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Someone else will need to comment about using Framesets with osCommerce. ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I think that the outgoing email texts are stored in different places, depending on where you're sending it from. Which emails are you referring to, specifically? FWIW, this type of data can only be in 1 of 2 places - - in a file or in the database. The easiest way to check to see if it's in a file is simply to "grep" for it. You can get grep for Windows, and it comes with *nix already. Here's one way to do it: 1) download your code to your PC 2) download grep for Windows (find it on Google). If you have a Mac OSX machine, or Linux, grep should already be there. 3) from a command prompt, while in the directory where all of your osC files are, enter the following command: grep -r "the text you are looking for" *.* It will search for "the text you are looking for" in all text files. This is generally easier, at least for me, than trying to remember how to convince Windows to search for text inside of .php files. -jared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
