How is the SSL Certificate used?

[Guest]

Thanks very much for this contribution. I installed it following your very clear instructions, and all is working perfectly well in Sandbox. I've not tried it live yet as my store is not quite ready to go live.

 

One of the requirements of the contribution is an SSL certificate. I purchased one and it has been successfully installed. When I order a product and go through the checkout process, I see nothing that suggests that the order is going through using the SSL cewrtificate . . . i. e. I don't see "https://" in the address of any of the pages displayed during the checkout process.

 

I want to explain to my customers that their purchases are secure. If I am not getting "https://" in the checkout pages addresses, am I providing secure checkout? If not, please explain what I must do to make it happen.

 

Thanks again for a great contribution.

PS - I am using Joomla for my website and wrapping the osCommerce pages in its wrapper component. I had wanted to use the Joomla contribution ECJCommerce and use your contribution as my payment module. It would have been a really powerful combination. Users would have only registered once in Joomla and automatically be registered in ECJCommerce. However, I couldn't get them to work together. I am sure it was ECJCommerce causing the problem, however, I don't know how he is going to make it work as his country apparently is not one PayPal supports. Any chance you guys can get together on making it work. It would be a dynamite combination.

You need to update your /catalog/includes/configure.php and /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php files.

You need to update your /catalog/includes/configure.php and /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php files.

 

Brian,

 

Thank you for the prompt reply. The lines in /catalog/includes/configure .php file read:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

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

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com');

 

in /catalog/admin/includes/configure.php they read:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

 

My /catalog directory is in the root level of my web server,

 

http://www.tea-and-scones-vermont.com

 

Should any files be located elsewhere?

 

Thanks again for your help!
