bouncefish Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Hello, I have a dumb question. as soon as I go to https://www.mysite.com/oscommerce/admin/ I log in securely. But as soon as I click on ANYTHING else in the admin tool, it takes me to the http:// site. Which, kinda defeats part of the purpose of having an SSL cert. Is there an EASY way I can keep the administrator in a secure session? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootd Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Is there an EASY way I can keep the administrator in a secure session? You need to enable ssl in your admin/configure.php file by changing these: define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://path to your ssl'); define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module You may have to use some absolute paths for your images and languages also, but start with above first and see... scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downeast25 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 But there doesn't seem to be a file under the specified directory..... i.e..... admin/configure.php does not exist. Do you refer to admin/includes/configure.php ?

bouncefish Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 It's admin/includes/configure.php And what worked for me was to change define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http: to define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https: Changing the Catalog Server line didn't work for me. Thanks though, I didn't even realize there was a seperate config file for the admin tool. Duh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scootd Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https:Changing the Catalog Server line didn't work for me. Brian - You are indeed correct about HTTP_SERVER our office lost power during a storm and the above post was made in great haste using DC power. Should have been: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://path to ssl'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://Domain.com'); define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://path to ssl'); define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module Just missed the top line during my copy and paste swipe ... Anyway glad you got it to work... scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yomama360 Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 in your code where it says "'https://path to ssl" do you mean the path to the SSL cert? or would it just be: https://mywebsite.com thanks "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.

scootd Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 in your code where it says "'https://path to ssl" do you mean the path to the SSL cert? or would it just be:https://mywebsite.com thanks That depends whether you have shared or dedicated ssl. A more specific shared path could be something like https://secure.YourHost.com/User (they differ from host to host) while a dedicated path would be https://YourDomain.com. scot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
