Security certificates and online payment

[norite]

At the moment, when someone tries to create an account, or go to the checkout, they get a 404 file not found.

 

Help from this forum said that it was because the web page was trying to access https://www....... if you changed the URL to http://....instead, it would find the relevant page.

 

Now, our web hosting company offers security certificates, which have to be renewed annually. Can anyone please tell me what to do when I get a security certificate? Do I have to rename the pages to https, or move them to a new folder? How does it work? We also haven't set up any online payment facilities yet...

 

I'm going to have a trawl through the documentation as well, but this is my first port of call

you need to modify your configure.php files with the paths and set ssl enable to true

Hi, and thanks...I've now had a trawl through the online documentation, and I cannot find this information about setting paths and configuring php files anywhere. Could i get a link posted here please? it MUST be in there somewhere, surely!

So...I'm still not sure what to do here??

 

My configure.php file currently reads:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mywebsite.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

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

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mywebsite.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.mywebsite.com');

 

etc. etc.

 

What do I do about getting a security certificate? So do I need one, if oscommerce has ssl enabled??? is there any online documentation on what to do here? i'm lost! :(

Thanks

Aha! Scratch that...think i found something...it was in the common problems section rather than the configuration section...

So, my webhosting company sells security certificates, I guess the next stage is to but one then, and go from there?
