Can anyone tell me how to change the web address of the My Account on the top bar.

Which file do i need to change as it is reading https and not http.

Not sure how this changed but i can't seem to find the correct file to make the alteration.

Hi Adrian,

look at ....your_shop_root/includes/configure.php and edit :

HTTP_SERVER & HTTPS_SERVER, and as needed ENABLE_SSL.

 

Do this also in your admin root if you want to.

 

Ciao.

This is correct. The customer account area is protected by a Secure connection (httpS instead of http). This means that personal details a user types in (address, phone number etc) get encrypted as they travel between the browser and your OSC database.

 

You can turn this off in the configure.php file but I would strongly advise against it.

I have this same problem with the CHECKOUT on the navbar. When i hover over it the address is reading

https and not http. The cart contents is fine showing http.

Any ideas?

again - this is another area of the store protected by SSL. Nothing is wrong - that's how it's supposed to work. The 's' in https simply stands for secure. There is no other difference.

 

You must ensure that your checkout area is using this secure connection. If it is not - anyone could intercept, and read, your customer's credit card details. You are leaving yourself open for legal action if you have an unsecured checkout area on your website.

Thanks for the information, you put me on the correct path. I haven't changed anything in the code, all i had to do is go through the installation process again not clicking on ssl.

 

Thanks again ........
