Guest Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Hey Guys, I have just finished building a website for one of my clients and when I installed the store I didn't select SSL. However, half way through the development they decided to accept Credit Card. :( Anyhow, I have purchased the SSL cert and have it installed correctly on the server. So here's the question... What do I have to do to get the SSL to work with the site? I know there are 2 directories on my server... Currently all of the files are located in the HTTPDOCS folder and nothing in the HTTPSDOCS folder. Do I have to copy the store and put it into the HTTPSDOCS folder? I only want the user admin & the check out functions to be Secure.. I am really stumped and hope there is a simple fix for this... Thanks in advance for your help!

Chris <{POST_SNAPBACK}> As far as osC is concerned you only need to make changes to your two configure.php files. Set ssl to true and edit the https: defines and you are good to go. As far as needing to have duplicate files and where they will need to be that is something you will need to get from your hosting company. Normally you should not have to duplicate any files but some hosting companies have a setup that requires you to do so. Not really an osC issue but a server one. The Knowledge Base is a wonderful thing. Do you have a problem? Have you checked out Common Problems? There are many very useful osC Contributions Are you having trouble with a installed contribution? Have you checked out the support thread found Here BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!!! You did backup, right??

Guest Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I own the server and have root access... How would I set this up? Any ideas.... I know it's not an oscommerce issue. I am using Plesk so I believe what I need to do is really simple... Thanks again, you guys rock! Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 If you have an httpdocs and an httpsdocs folder then in all likelyhood you will have to place a copy of all of your files in the httpsdocs folder - and update those files when you update the httpdocs folder. It's not necessary to actually duplicate all files - it's just easier to do it that way. The other way around it would be to create a symbolic link between the httpsdocs folder and the httpdocs folder. Of course, as you own the server you could install a system that doesn't require that you use separate folders! Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
