SSL Installtion issues

[montytx]

I fould the thread on Installing SSL and I think I followed it to the T. But I am still get an error when a customer tries to click on anything secure.

The error is " The connection to downdogsales.biz has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transfered.:

 

My OSC is running at my ISP on Apache 1.33. In my root I have a directory called SSL. I that directory I see my certs and my key in sub folders.

 

Now with OSC. Here is my includes config:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://downdogsales.biz');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://downdogsales.biz');

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'downdogsales.biz');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'downdogsales.biz');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');

 

 

 

Of course I have it switched to false to get rid of the above error.

Can anyone see or have any ideas where I am off?

 

Thanks

You are using an address for a Dedicated SSL. If you are only in Shared SSL the HTTPS_SERVER and HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN should be different.

it doesnt appear that apache is functioning properly, have your host reboot your system

Funny - it's a fairly standard osCommerce install - and no mention of osCommerce anywhere.

It is my own SSL cert. I bought it over the weekend. So I am assuming it is configed right for that.

is it installed properly? you dont just copy it to your server, it has to be installed on the server.

That is a good question. I had to upgrade to a dedicated IP. I still dont seem to be able to get it to work. I installed it in cpanel so I think it is installed correctly but I dont know.

Well, all of your links point to http, so the configure.php files have not been configured for ssl, or else you have reverted back to http in those files - either way we can't check out the ssl on your site.

 

After the ssl cert has been installed the httpd files need to be rebooted for the installation to be completed. Your hosting company will have to do this.

I am beginning to think my ISP hasnt done the whole process. I have switched my cfg file to https and back several times trying to get an SSL set up and still get the same error everytime.

My ISP finally got it together and set up SSL correctly on my server. Users can now log in securely. I do however have one question. I notice when you log in that the minute you look at the catalog items it reverts back to a non ssl connection. IS there a way to keep it all SSL once they are logged in. Here is my config:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://downdogsales.biz');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.downdogsales.biz');

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'http://downdogsales.biz');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'https://www.downdogsales.biz');

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', 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

 

 

Thanks!

You do not need your store to run in secure mode all the time as it will slow your store down and there is no reason to be in secure mode to look at the catalog. osC will switch back and forth automatically as needed to protect personal information.
