shared SSL certificate on different domain

[Andydread]

Hi I installed oscommerce 2.2 and it is working beautifully on one server without SSL.

however I need to enable SSL and this is the problem. The https server is different host alltogether so how do I set this up on two hosts.

 

the http server is http://www.mydomain.com

and the https server is https://secure.myisp.com/mydomain

 

Everything works if ssl is disabled when I enable SSL it fails

 

I have copied the /catalog folder to the secure server but I get database connect messages when i connect to the ssl site.

 

Do i need to have a seperate database running on the https server also ?

Also. Do i have to modify the configure.php files on the secure.myisp.site to reflect

the local paths of that server

 

I modified the configure.php on the https server to point to the database on the http server and I get permission denied because it is trying to log in with [email protected] instead of [email protected]

 

here is my the database section in my configure.php files on the HTTPS server.

=============================

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'www.mydomain.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'sqluser');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

 

========================

 

and here it is the working one on the HTTP server

--------------------

// define our database connection

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'sqluser');

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');

define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase');

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

-----------------------------

 

So basically i just want to know how do you run this on two seperate hosts.

one http and one https.

Do i need two catalog folders? and two databases? if so how do i keep all this

syncronized.

 

Thanks

we dont need to know the db info, we need the rest of the configure.php file to help you with that aspect of it. post the top portion of your includes/configure.php along with the exact path your host gave you for your shared ssl

The https server is different host alltogether so how do I set this up on two hosts.

 

Do you mean that it is two different hosting companies completely? Or is it that you are talking about using the shared ssl provided by your hosting company?

 

If it is a different hosting company completely, then forget the whole idea is the best advice anyone can give you.

Its the same hosting company just different physical servers

 

here is my catalog/includes/configure.php file on the HTTP server

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

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

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

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

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

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.bentleygardens.com');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

And this is the one on the HTTPS server

 

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

uctive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley/catalog/'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be

empty for productive servers

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.bentleygardens.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'secure.emgrp.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

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

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

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

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/opt/server/docs/bentleygardens/www/catalog/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');

define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

 

note ** The local directory locations for the catalog are different on both servers.

 

Thanks

In line:

 

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley/');

 

you have an extra slash at the end.

[Guest]

this:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley/');

to this:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley');

[Andydread]

this:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley/');

to this:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.emgrp.com/bentley');

Thanks that works now i get a database connect error so

we are moving in the right direction

 

the error is

 

1046 - No Database Selected

 

select configuration_key as cfgKey, configuration_value as cfgValue from configuration

 

[TEP STOP]

 

when i turn ssl off all works ok.

[Andydread]

OK i got it working so far. Thanks a lot for all the help.

I had to add a database user for the secure host

and change the DB_SERVER setting from localhost to the server hostname.

 

Now how do I get the admin page to work with the current SSL setup?

 

when I go to the https://secure.myisp.com/catalog/admin url i get the admin page but when i click a link it leaves the https url an goes to the http://www.mysite.com/catalog/admin url

 

It also says that I am not protected by ssl even though it shows I have a https connection to the admin page.

Thanks Andy

[Guest]

change the http_server reference, where you have http://domain to the https://domain/bentley

[fisherofman]

so if i change the reference and copy the dir it should change the links?

 

and your refering to this reference

 

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

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

[Andydread]

change the http_server reference, where you have http://domain to the https://domain/bentley

Ok that works, thanks to all that helped. I changed this in

admin/includes/config on the HTTPS server and it works now.

 

Thanks. you people are great.
