Internet Exployer and SSL issue

May 25, 2006

I installed SSL for my catalog (had to have support from my webhosting group) but got it all working. Thought I was ok. Got a call from a customer who told me that the catalog images were not loading. I looked and they seemd fine. I was using firefox. The customer was using IE. I used IE and found that when I went from http:// to https:// the images would not load and the page formating was scued.

When I deleted the s from https and hit the enter key, the page would load unsecured, but the images and formating was fine. click on an item and it would go to the secured page and be messed upa again.

I want the pages secured.

my site is www.kingdomomega.com

I works fine in Firefox, but not in IE.

Any help????

Thanks

Hi CEPARK!

I just had a similar issue yesterday adding ssl to my site. I am not an advanced user, but here is what I did yesterday to fix my IE problem:

First make sure part of your your config file looks like mine:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.heptag.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.heptag.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'heptag.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'heptag.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/shop/osc/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

and make sure you fill in similar responses to your admin/includes config file as needed.

Good luck, let me know if it works.

also, make sure you change any links in your coding to https.

I had the the webhosting support fix my configure files as when I added SSL to my sight it started a cascade effect that led to the crash of my sight. So I am now very shy to go in and make changes.

I have a configure.php file in /admin/includes/configure.php with the following in it:

Thanks,

I made the changes that you had in red. I now have my images in IE as well as Firefox.

But the catalog now loads slower and in firefox the SSL yellow pad locks have a line through them and in IE there is no secured pad locks at all.

Any thoughts?

stargirlnine · May 26, 2006

I believe that the broken lock in firefox is because you still have links to part of your site without the ssl. I think IE is really testy, and until these links are fixed, it doesn't see the site as secure.

Firefox has a great way to see what links aren't secure. open your site in firefox, go to products, and then click on one of the products in your store. You will probably be prompted that only part of the site is encrypted. Click on the little lock w/ the red line in the bottom right of the screen. A Page Info screen will pop up. click on LINKS.

notice how some of the links are only http:, like

My Account http://www.kingdomomega.com/catalog/account.php

Checkout http://www.kingdomomega.com/catalog/checkout_shipping.php

I think you only need to change the links within your site to make it secure.

As for making the site run quicker now, I am not sure about that yet!! I will have to look into that for my site soon, but I don't know anything about that yet...

I bet running a search on it will help you streamline things a little more.

Also, your window header still says OsCommerce, and that will come up as the header in searches online. You can change it to your company name by going to the INCLUDES/LANGUAGES/ENGLISH/ENGLISH.PHP file.

On my file, it is around line 47 (yours could be different) and looks like this:

// page title

define('TITLE', 'osCommerce');

Change what I highlighted in red to the name of your store.

Glad the images are working!

Thanks,

I made the change to english.php and now I get the following error

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /hsphere/local/home/cepark/kingdomomega.com/catalog/includes/languages/english.php on line 79

This seems to be the way it goes for me. I just look at the file and it dies. I really am not as stupid as it appears. I used to program in sql. But oscommerce is so crappy with the way it handles things.

Here is the change I made--change oscommerece to kingdomomega

// page title

define('TITLE', 'kingdomomega');

oh well...the saga continues...
