SLL CERT INSTALL ON OSC

[Coryvmcs1]

Hey Does anyone know how to install the ssl certificate so that when you go to checkout it automatically becomes secure. Im not sure if it is something you have to add in the stie itself because I have it installed on my webhost so far.

 

If anyone can help I would be much appreciative.

 

Thanks.

Just edit your config files to reflect https. Should be as easy as changing the entry from "false" to "true".

 

Do a search here in the forums or on google as this has been handled many, many times.

Hi

 

It is not in your config files under admin.

Normally you do this when you install OSC on the webhost. It is part of the installation process.

But you can do it anytime later as well.

Go with your FTP program to catalog/includes/

there is a file called "configuration.php"

open it with your favoured editor (bbedit or some kind of this program)

there you will find a line almost at the top

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

change it according to your need, mostlikely your webhost can tell you what to place here to be able to use the "HTTPS SERVER".

Than save it and make sure to change the priviledges, sometimes called "permissions" as well after you saved the "configuration.php" file, otherwise you and everyone who visit your live site will read a warning on top of the page.

 

The same steps you have or should do on your admin site as well.

 

Hope it does help
