PartyMania Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Hey guys, been tinkering with this SSL cert for hours now and no matter what I do I can't seem to get it to work. The site is located at: http://www.partymaniaonline.com. The following is a list of steps I've taken: 1- Purchased a SSL cert through godaddy.com. (they seemed cheap) 2- Uploaded the cert via my hosts control panel 3- Edited my catalog/included/configure.php to enable SSL. (pasted contents below) 4- Stuck and any time I try to display a https:// page it gives me an error page. // Define the webserver and path parameters // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical) // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL) define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.partymaniaonline.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.partymaniaonline.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', ''); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/'); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES .

♥Vger Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com'); And after installing the cert via your hosting control panel - you did get your hosting company to reboot the httpd conf files didn't you?

PartyMania Posted December 28, 2004 Author Share Posted December 28, 2004 My host is telling me that because it's run on apache it doesn't need to be restarted, and that I need to purchase a dedicated IP address to use with SSL, is this valid?

TomThumb Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 Yes, you need a dedicated ip address. while (!succeed) {try()}; GMT -6:00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 28, 2004 Share Posted December 28, 2004 if you install an ssl certificate you definitely need to restart apache. if your host states you do not need to, then it is time to change hosts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PartyMania Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 Alright, so I now have a static IP for my host AND apache was restarted. Now whenever I try to access any page that should be secure (starts with https://) i get a 'page can not be displayed' error. When I set up my SSL cert it created another folder 'SSL' in the root directory next to the 'Public_HTML' folder. I've tried moving files into this 'SSL' folder, but they still do not show up. Any help please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 You would have been better off following Mibble's advice. Now you have an SSL cert, but you still have the same hosting company and this two folder system they are using for ssl. You can ask your host how to get around this problem - but judging by their previous lack of knowledge I'm not sure they'll be much help - sorry!

PartyMania Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 YES!! finally it works. I sent ALL the info to my host and they did something to make the secure server work. Just a few little things to work on though, when you go to my site www.partymaniaonline.com and go to your account or to checkout none of the pictures show for some reason, and the padlock doesn't show up. Anyone have any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 If the padlock and images are not showing then it's not a little problem. It basically means that it's still not set up correctly. Just took a look at your site, and the certificate has been issued to partymania.com and not www.partymania.com, so any links to https pages throws up an ssl warning box. If the company you bought it from offers a re-issue for free then I would get it re-issued to www.partymania.com. Of course, it will then have to be reinstalled!

Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 sounds like the host wanted you to spend more money and not give you any support. anyway in your configure.php remove any 'www' you have in the domain paths until you get your ssl reissued.

PartyMania Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Alright, the warning is gone, but still no pics or padlock. Any way to fix this until i get the cert reissued? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 i looked at the link, you have an error somewhere in your configure.php file, as you have two // in the path. thus post your current configure.php without the db info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 31, 2004 Share Posted December 31, 2004 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'partymaniaonline.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'partymaniaonline.com'); need to be: define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.partymaniaonline.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '.partymaniaonline.com'); as the cookie paths need two 'dots' this doesnt seem right, your host may have your system configured for http://partymaniaonline.com/ because if i go to http://partymaniaonline.com it doesnt stay that way. if this is the case, it screws things up with oscommerce. also, your host may have two directories for ssl and non ssl. and duplicates need to be in each one.

PartyMania Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 ARGH, nevermind. A while back i enabled hotlink protection via my hosts control panel. I guess for some reason this fudged everything up with the SSL pictures not showing up. Seems to be working fine now. Still no padlock though.

PartyMania Posted December 31, 2004 Author Share Posted December 31, 2004 Well damn, I think I did it. I think I had a non-relative background image in the stylesheet that was messing everything up. Damn these little things! =P Finally got SSL up and running... well at least I think. Anyone spot anything that isn't secure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
