Noob question- Connection terminated on any action

[Chip off the ol' Proc]

HI,

I'm trying to set up my first store with osCommerce.

When ever I try to do anything like create an account (as a visitor) or login etc. I get the same error:

 

The connection to "domain.com" has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred.

 

I have successfully loaded several products into two catagories. I can look at each product's detail pages, and put them into a shopping cart. But I get the same error if I try to checkout.

 

I've read the troubleshooting guide but I'm completely lost. Any hints as to the cause or how to troubleshoot this?

This might not be a problem with osCommerce. You might have to contact your provider and have them set something up on their side. If you have received you secure key from the host administrator, then you will find the code to change in your config files. It should look like this

 

2. Goto includes/configure.php

3. Change

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com');

to

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'yourSecureUrl');

 

4. Change

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

to

define('ENABLE_SSL', true);

 

If you see your secure url in the HTTPS_SERVER definition then in theory you should be able to enter the url and have your page load in the secure socket. I know there is a config file in the store and one in the admin directory there may be more. If you still get the error then contact you hosting provider, it is most likely they have to finish setting up your SSL.

The hosting company will not routinely provide a full ssl cert - so you need to find out from them if they offer a shared ssl cert and, if so, what the pathway is.
