Change from non ssl to ssl

[knifeman]

:'( I know you are probably tired of reading ssl questions, I know I have gotten tired reading them to find the answer. Since everyone has put their catalog in different directories, i can't seem to follow the examples, and there isn't any clear instructions in the KB.

 

I installed without a certificate. I now have one from instant ssl. My host sent me an e-mail and said:

Tim your cert has been installed.

https://wholesale.myknifestore.com

 

So I followed the forum advice I read some days ago that said:

Once you have your certificate installed you need to make changes to your two configure.php

 

files

 

includes/configure.php

admin/includes/configure.php

 

Set ssl to true and then enter in your secure path in your HTTPS defines.

 

I changed the false to true, but I am not really sure what to put in the defines. I tried several variations, but none worked. My catalog is not in the root directory, but rather it is in / public_html / wholesale / whls / This is my subdomain.

Here is my

http://www.myknifestore.com/wholesale/whls...s/configure.php code

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://wholesale.myknifestore.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://wholesale.myknifestore.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'wholesale.myknifestore.com');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'wholesale.myknifestore.com');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/whls/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/whls/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/whls/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/whls/');
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
 define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
 define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
 define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
 define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
 define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
 define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

I would really appreciate it if someone could explain which lines to change and what to change it to. It looks to me like the path my host told me to use, is already in the file.

ie. define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'wholesale.myknifestore.com');

I have seen two options that seem to work:

either you use www.etc for both

or you use : .yourdomain.com

 

notice the '.'

 

to get rid of popup warning you will have to get rid of any hardcoded images or images not secured... you can find more info on that issue in knowledge base

your trust logo is having a problem in being displayed in ssl mode

<!--

change that to https:

Just wanted to close this thread. Appently I had the code right, but my web host had some install issues. Once those were fixed, then I had a problem with the logo. And as Mibble and TCwho pointed out the logo needed https in the code. Some of the store pages are http and some are https, but I have it working now by putting the trust logo in the header.php and using https in the links.

 

I know a lot of people have trouble with SSL and I hope some of this thread will help them as it has me.

Hi,

 

Can anyone in this thread point me to a step-by-step guide for editing OsC to work with an SSL. I've the same problem as the original poster, a non SSL site now needs an SSL. The SSL is on the server, but what do I do next?

 

I've read the Knowledge Base, FAQs & Forums, but not found a definitive answer that I can understand.

 

The only clue I have is that I may be able to run the Install directory again & click on "SSL". However I don't know how to the site go into SSL mode when customers Checkout. I don't want SSL on all the time as it will slow the site down too much.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

 

Mike
