Help with SSL on Shared Host

[satmann]

Hi, I have a store working fine without SSL, but am now trying to progress to the next stage.

 

Copy of config file:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mysite.co.uk');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secured-url.com/mysite');

define('ENABLE_SSL', true);

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'mysite.co.uk');

 

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/store/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/store/');

 

The store works fine for browsing and adding to cart, but when I go to the checkout I get loads of errors.

 

Questions

 

1) What files do I need to copy to the SSL server? surely not everything as images should be on http?

2) When using SSL, is this only used when going to the checkout?

3) Whats the advantage of moving the admin to SSL? as surely when you go to the checkout you can determine the url for the SSL server from which you can work out the admin. Obviously I can rename it.

 

Thanks

Sat.

secured-url.com is the shared ssl address for fasthosts.co.uk. Their shared ssl will not work with osCommerce (whatever they might say), so you would be wasting your time even trying. You may be hosted by another company - but they will be resellers for fasthosts.

Vger, thanks for that you are right. I am using streamlinenet who I believe is a reseller for fasthosts. Who would you recommend I use? Ultimately, I would like to have https://www.mydomain.com

Vger isn't telling the truth he works for http://terranetwork.net/ which is another hosting company and it trying to get you.,
