Guest Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 I am using a shared hosting server that provides generic SSL Certificate (free). After installing the generic SSL certificate on my domain, they gave me the below message: "Your domain has been set up to use our generic SSL Certificate. To get to the "secure" area of your site, go to https://secure25.securewebsession.com/mydomain.com Place any files you need to use over SSL in the "/secure" and "/secure-cgi-bin" directories that have been created for you in your home directory." They require putting the files I want to use over SSL in the secure folder. Can I use accounts and checkout under SSL in oscommerce without putting their files in the secure folder? Elisa
♥Monika in Germany Posted July 24, 2006 Posted July 24, 2006 Elisa, you would need to duplicate your whole catalog part in that folder to work with SSL. A host that only offers the 2 folder module with no symlinks is probably a bad choice for osCommerce ... imagine having to modify all files 2x for any change! :-) Monika addicted to writing code ... can't get enough of databases either, LOL! my toolbox: Textpad - Compare and Merge - phpMyAdmin - WS_FTP - Photoshop - How to search the forum Interactive Media Award July 2007 ~ category E-Commerce my advice on the forum is for free, PMs where you send me work are considered consultation which I charge for ...

Elisa Elisa, Put everything in the secure folder, then link to it from your normal catalog directory. I did it this way, and it seems to work: ------------------ <?php $goto = "http://localhost/Secure_Server/index.php"; header("Location: " . $goto);?> <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>Lee Carter Company * Wholesale Mexican Arts & Crafts</TITLE> <LINK rel="Start" href="Secure_Server/index.php"> </HEAD> </HTML> -------------- The html section is for search engines. Saludos, Jim

Saludos, Jim Thank you very much Saludos, Jim, Where should I put this code? Is that means that all my website will be over SSL, all the pages will start with https://... , From my knowledge, it decrease the speed of loading the pages. Elisa
