SSL I need help :\

[srober]

I ordered a SSL from my server provider. I have been in back in forth chats with them all day when I can get to a computer. They secured my entire site so now I get page cannot be found error because just about everything doest include the "s" in the http part. Of course I only want certain parts secured. Im using Cpanel is there some advice anyone can give me I can fix myself? Im pretty green to this stuff.

 

Meanwhile I will keep checking for responces from my server provider

Greetings,

 

I shall attempt to make some sense of this. I'm no expert but I have two SSL certificates for two different websites.

 

Here is the deal as far as what I've gone through. I had the SSL certificates installed by my web hosting company. (that reminds me, I need to put my secure logo on my site) anyway, I also use Cpanel.

 

You really don't need to secure every page as you say and OSC is built well enough to make that possible.

 

All I did was install OSC. When it asked if I were going to use SSL certificates, I said yes. That was it and that's all that should be needed.

 

When I navigate through my site, certain pages automatically go to https...

 

Like if I put something in my cart, the cart is https automatically. If you look at the code, it is there to use SSL in those pages.

 

Did you already have your shop up and running before you had the SSL installed?

 

I've done it both ways, before and after. Still works the same.

 

Cpanel doesn't really do anything to help with this process. I installed OSC using fantastico. but it doesn't matter how you install it.

 

So basically, as long as the hosting company has the SSL installed correctly, then you can work from there.

 

If you can, reinstall OSC and make sure you have SSL selected during install. Then there is nothing more you have to do as OSC will do what it's supposed to.

 

 

 

Secured your whole site... How did they do that in a way that would cause your problem?

 

See when you get a SSL it is for the domain name you specify. Like mine is for www.zawadibooks.com. Not http://zawadibooks.com or any other variation.

 

But anyone can still simply go to http://www.zawadibooks.com and not use my SSL certificate.

 

Is your whole site OSC or are you using it with out of OSC html pages too? Sort of like using OSC as a back end?

I had the shop 90% setup then I ordered the ssl. My entire shop is OSC I thought selecting SSL from the install all it did was either enter true or false in the config section?

Just set it to true in catalog/includes/configure.php

 

and make sure the https address is correct.

no need to reinstall. Just check your configure file in OSC.

 

Your underconstruction site is secured because you are going to it using https. But you don't have to. If you just use http you should get to the same underconstruction site without the little secure lock.

Even the comming soon site is secured, you must enter the s in http or you get a page cannot be found error. Im pretty sure my config is right because the checkout ect ect stuff is the only parts that do work.

Customer support has made some changes that wil take a few hours to show. When it asked for domain name I entered (domain name).com i did not include the WWW, from what you say that will make a difference?

yes it depends on how they set up the ssl.

 

I get an error when I type in https://zawadibooks.com - says the name on the SSL certificate doesn't match. my SSL was setup for https://www.zawadibooks.com

 

your host should let you know which to use.
