SSL Certificate - Changing Settings

Hi,

 

I do not have an SSl certificate, but may purchase one in the future if my site takes off. The problem I am getting is when I want to:

 

'Log In'

'Create an account' and

'Checkout'

 

the page redirects to:

 

https://MYWEBSITE/login.php

https://MYWEBSITE/create_account.php

https://MYWEBSITE/checkout_shipping.php

 

And a blank page appears telling me:

 

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

 

(I have put MYWEBSITE in to replace my web address!)

 

Has anyone got any ideas how to alter this? I did read a similar post but that told you how to set it up after someone had already altered some code.

 

Thanks

The page being blank has nothing to do with you not having SSL.

 

Though make sure you confgure.php does not specify that you have one.

 

Usually a blank page happens from bad modifications to those pages or a dependant includes (application_top, footer, etc.) Though since other pages do work, those two examples are most likely not your problem.

 

A link to your site may be helpful

 

Sorry I re-read your post...

 

Look in your configure.php files (both of them) located at

 

catalog/includes/configure.php

and

admin/includes/configure.php

 

Your SSL should say false and not true

 

Also the SSL entries should be blank, though as long as SSL is set to false, I'm not ure that those entries will matter and you may be able to leave them there for future use.

Try setting it false first and see if it works, if not then remove the https entries as well.

Hi,

I am a first time user and I have the same problem as you have. Although I do not have the solution at hand, I have tried a few things and I am waiting for a reply from my webhost support. If you configure osCommerce so that its transactions are not secured (not good for live production), this problem does not happen. My osCommerce administration tool tells me that my server is not secured. I therefore asked my webhost about this problem. I will post again as soon as I have more info.

Hi,

Here's what happened. When your osCommerce installation is set for secured SSL transactions, your website should also be secured. That is, your website should have an SSL certificate installed by your webhost. You either buy it from Verisign or somewhere else for around USD346 a year. Some webhosts share their SSL certificate for free and you can ask them for the url of your secured server. Just a word of caution if you do not have automatic installer for osCommerce. You will have missing images if you are not careful where to put that http and https. During the trial period, it is better to have unsecured transactions and postpone the purchase of the SSL certificate because your secured pages will take extra time to display. osCommerce works with unsecured transactions but your buyers may not like it. I am lucky to have a host that share its SSL certificate. They provided me with the url for my secured server and presto everything's working okey.
