tristanlee85 Posted July 4, 2005 Posted July 4, 2005 Right now I have my SSL option turned to "false" to allow me to configure the store without errors. I've went into the /cpanel of my domain and generated keys for the following options: Private keys (KEY), Certificate Signing Requests (CSR), and Certificates (CRT). Exactly what else must I do to get SSL working on my store? It still shows that it is not enabled when I "true" it in the config file.

I found this post very helpful when I setup my SSL site. Dont forget to Search. Your problem has already been fixed before.<br> Please visit Manchester-Fireworks.com.
tristanlee85 Posted July 4, 2005 Author Posted July 4, 2005 I've read that as well. How is it a shared IP address? My domain name doesn't change and neither does the IP of my server.
tristanlee85 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Posted July 5, 2005 Is there any idea as to why this could be?
♥swolsten Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I've read that as well. How is it a shared IP address? My domain name doesn't change and neither does the IP of my server. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Web hosting companies do not like to give 1 IP address per website, they use shared IP addresses for a number of websites, you need to confirm with your company that the IP address you have been allocated for your site is not a shared IP address, in SSL land all sites on the same IP address are treated the same so you can only have 1 SSL site per IP address. This may or may not be a problem for you. You must confirm before purchasing the SSL certificate. Dont forget to Search.

If so, you have a dedicated IP. Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management)
tristanlee85 Posted July 5, 2005 Author Posted July 5, 2005 I see what you mean now by shared IPs. When I type in my TP, it does not go to my site. So, does that mean I cannot use the SSL on my site? I'm still waiting on an answer back from the hosting guy. There is an area in my /cpanel for the SSL options, but I'm not exactly sure how it works.

There is an area in my /cpanel for the SSL options, but I'm not exactly sure how it works. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Also you are about to raise a self certificate with the cpanel facility - this will ALWAYS give browser errors because you do not have a trusted root - if you're a cynic this is worse than not having the cert as it alerts people that there is a problem and they don't like that - so for the marketer it is better to not have the self issued SSL cert than to have one that doesn't work If you can afford it (and it only costs a few dollars for a 2 / 3 year cert ) get aproper cert as indicated in the thread you mentioned previously.

tristanlee85 Posted August 14, 2005 Author Posted August 14, 2005 I talked to the hosting guy and he set up SSL and I now have a dedicated IP (both www.plastikracing.net and my IP address go to my site). So, I've generated my: Private keys (KEY), Certificate Signing Requests (CSR), and Certificates (CRT) through the SSL manager of cpanel, but I'm still not able to get the website to work on https://...
