shared SSL configuration

[david05]

Hi,

 

I am trying to configure my SSL pages. I am using a shared SSL, and I think I know the correct settings for the configure.php files but can someone please tell me what files I need to upload to the secure https server.

 

I read on another thread that you do NOT upload the entire osCommerce but only the files you need. So do I just upload the account.php and checkout_shipping.php files to the secure server?

 

Do I ned to do anything else?

this is all up to your host settings, what did they say you need to do?

Chance would be a fine thing! anyone else had slow responses from streamline.net? :'( :angry:

 

Also, can anyone else who uses a shared SSL tell me what files they upload to their secure server? Thanks. :rolleyes:

I'm trying the find the same answer, as I just setup a dedicated ssl and would like to know what files are needed in the private_html folder. My host is www.hostpcs.com if that helps :)

 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Normally your osCommerce files would go into a folder called html, htdocs, or public_html

Thanks for the fast reply. I do have the oscommerce files in my public_html folder, but if someone clicks on a page that should be secure they get a 404 error. After I copied all the oscommerce files to both the public_html and private_html folders there is no error. I'm just trying to figure out which files are needed in the private_html folder without having to keep duplicates of everything.

The problem is non standard naming conventions

 

I have never heard of private_html :D

 

Most hosts will set up server space for you with basic directory structures. In these you will normally find a directory (mostly) called public_html which is where your web pages are loaded.

 

You may want to question your host on what the private_html directoy is for - the name implies private stuff you don't necessarily want shown on the web - really like a store area.

Hi

 

I'm having the same issue where I have shared SSL using a different domain i.e. I cannot access it but just putting an s in front of the http. At the moment I have two copies of the site one on the non-SSL and the other on the SSL space but its a pain to maintain. Vger can you tell me what files I need on my SSL domain in order for my setup to work?

 

Thanks

Hi,

 

My hosting offers free shared SSL and you do not need to put files anywhere. However there is some level of configuring required.

the folder should be same for both.

Only when url has https that SSL should get applied.
