hukkas Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 I'm tearing my hair out trying to set up SSL; I keep getting the message "The connection has been unexpectedly reset" whenever I try to connect to a secure page. I'm pretty certain the problems on the hosting side, rather than my osCommerce configuration (but I stand to be corrected!) I'm using cPanel (it's a Linux box) to create a private key, then generate a CSR, then a Certificate. I can't find any tutorials on how to do this through this GUI, though presumably the principles are the same. Has anyone got 10-15 minutes to have a look for me? I'd be eternally grateful...

♥Vger Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 In both of your configure.php files make sure that use_pconnect is set to false. Many hosts bar the use of Persistent Connections because it uses up too much server resource. Other possible causes include having files with permissions set to 777 (security risk), and declaring that you have SSL when you don't. Please make sure that you have restarted Apache after installing your certificate. By the way, if this is a certificate you have created yourself in cPanel - it is worthless for use on an online store, because it is not 'Trusted'.

hukkas Posted December 2, 2005 Author Share Posted December 2, 2005 Thanks for your help. It's probably that I haven't restarted Apache - it's a hosting package, so I'd better try and find out how to do so! I'm not using a self-signed certificate during production, I just want to get the application working for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
