norite Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could i get a link posted here please? it MUST be in there somewhere, surely! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
