XinXang Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 from configure.php // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers What is "productive servers"?
peterr Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Hi, You can only have an SSL connection to a domain, because you buy the certificate for a domain, or sub domain. These are "productive servers", whereas "localhost" is not a domain. These are mostly my assumptions, I stand to be corrected. :D Peter

Nobody outside your machine can access that so don't use that for production server. Treasurer MFC

XinXang Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 I think I undterstand. It just means that this localhost reference will only be understood by the script which is running locally, and if the server will be used for professional purposes, then this should NOT be set to localhost? Or can it be set to localhost even for a production server, does setting it to http://localhost fulfill the requirement of the field not being empty?
peterr Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hi, Do you want to run osCommerce locally, on a LAN, or on a website (WAN)?? Peter

peterr Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hi, 'Yes' to which question ?? LOL I'll ask one question then, do you want to run osCommerce on a website ? Peter
peterr Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Hi, yes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Okay, we are getting somewhere, you want to use it on a website, therefore you need a domain name, and you won't have this ........... http://localhost but this ............... http://mydomain.com Peter
