SSL Problem

[Guest]

Hi,

 

Just in the process of installing my 1st oscommerce application. Installation seem to go ok.

 

Just running through and seem to have a problem with the shared ssl . For example when you click on account the following message appears:-

 

 

The page cannot be displayed

There is a problem with a program on the page you are trying to reach, and the page cannot be displayed.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Please try the following:

 

Open the vault1.secured-url.com home page, and then look for links to the information you want.

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

 

HTTP 403.1 Forbidden: Execute Access Forbidden

Background:

Can anyone be of help?

 

Thanks Hopefully

you will need to post your catalog/includes/configure.php file without the database info, not much else we can do without any info on this and a link too

Unless I am very much mistaken (but don't think so) that's the Fasthosts shared ssl address.

 

Give up now, you'll never get it to work with osCommerce. Your main site is on a Linux server, presumably with Register Globals enabled. The shared ssl is on a Windows server with Register Globals disabled. You only get 10Mbs of space in the shared folder and you have to duplicate all of your http docs in that folder and apply the Register Globals patch to them - and after all that you'll never be able to keep the session id. Oh - and they charge you ?45 for something that everyone else provides for free!

 

Good luck, and here's hoping you never want to upgrade to a full SSL cert - because they don't provide that facility.

:angry: Thanks Vger,

 

This is not what I wanted to hear. We have a number of sites to setup and was recommended Fasthosts Reseller Package by someone !

 

Perhaps I should have done a search on the Forum for Fasthosts before we went ahead and shelled out loads of money.

 

If anyone has any idea's how we can overcome the problem without moving away from Fasthosts (Don't want to move away when we have paid then upfront) it would be appreciated.

 

Yours now very depressed

 

Dave :(

[♥Vger]

I'm sorry Dave - but I'm about to depress you even more but there is no workaround to this problem. I know that they (Fasthosts) say that their shared ssl now works with osCommerce, but I think that the only chance you have of getting it to work would be if the website was also on a Windows server with Register Globals disabled. Even then you'd have problems, because I'm pretty sure that on their Windows servers they'd have other restrictions in effect on PHP.

 

If you are within a redemption (money-back) period I would take them up on it.

I am using GoDaddy for my hosting plan, and in setting up OsC on our Shared Windows server, we have come across the same problem with execute permissions (including the exact same message that the original poster is encountering).

 

Am I just screwed, then? Should I switch to a different hosting company or maybe a different plan with GoDaddy? I am kind of in a bind, as this is something I have sunk a good bit of cash into.

 

Thanks,

Switch to a Linux plan. Why did you choose Windows, any special reason?

[♥Vger]

It wouldn't have made any difference to the original poster - http on Apache or Windows with Register Globals enabled - https for the shared ssl was on Windows with Register Globals disabled and PHP running in Safe Mode - and just a 10Mb file allowance.

 

Original problem solved weeks ago - Dave moved to a different hosting company.

I thought that it would be an arbitrary choice, picking windows or linux...but from more reading on other people's experiences, it looks like linux is more reliable. Does anyone have any recommendations on hosting companies to go with instead of GoDaddy?

 

Thanks

Linux is the natural choice for Open Source software, many fewer problems.

 

The poster who started this thread was not with GoDaddy, read upthread.

 

There are plenty of people here who use GoDaddy with few problems, just go with the Linux hosting, it's usually cheaper anyway.

[SewerPanda]

Thank you all for your help. I will switch my hosting plan to Linux. As well, it seems that some of my problems may be stemming from my particular hosting plan...instead of actually having a "Virtual Dedicated Server" or a "Dedicated Server", I am on a simple hosting plan. I suppose that having access to the virtual dedicated server, I would be able to have whatever permissions are needed (including execute permissions for OsC). According to GoDaddy, all of their Virtual Dedicated Servers run on Linux...hopefully this will solve my issues.

 

Thanks again,

Which GoDaddy's plan have you changed to? Does OsC finally work properly on GoDaddy?

 

I am setting up OsC on GoDaddy's Windows Deluxe Plan and have came across the same problems everybody was talking about. Am deciding whether I should switch to another hosting company. Your reply would really help.
