Jack_mcs Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 You will probably get arguments for both sides in answer to this. Force Cookies means that the visitor to your site must have cookies enabled to use your site. I think this is a mistake. If I run across such a site, I leave. And I know others do the same. So forcing cookies, in my opinion, will cost you sales, all at no gain as a result.

♥Vger Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The URL has osCommerce in it because you installed the site in a folder called osCommerce and not in the root of your web e.g. http://www.yourdomain.com You will need to transfer the folders/files from the osCommerce folder to the root of the domain and then remove 'osCommerce' from the file pathways in both configure.php files. You have a problem with your configure.php files anyway, which is why you are getting the warning messages on an otherwise okay full ssl cert. The https pathways within your site should be to https://www.yourdomain.com and not to https://yourdomain.com - and the http and https_cookie_domain needs to be www.yourdomain.com. There's no http:// or https:// in either the http or https cookie domains. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
