I have no idea how to title this!

[Guest]

I am setting up SSL on my shopping cart and I believed that I had everything set up correctly until I ran a test run and weird things happen.

 

The first thing I did was purchase an SSL for "awesomepoolsite.com". My cart is at https://awesomepoolsite.com/os. I saw that the cart was not securing automatically so I read and found that I needed to change the catalog/includes/configure.php file from " define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?" to " define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?".

 

After I made that change I had a problem changing the mod to 444 and when I left it 644 I got the follwoing error "Warning Warning: I am able to write to the configuration file: /home/username/public_html/os/includes/configure.php. This is a potential security risk - please set the right user permissions on this file." I ended up having to go through my cpanel to change the mod to 444.

 

Any ways I got it changed and went through a test purchase. My store is set to production and my authorize.net gateway account set to test.

 

When I went through the purchase it started acting very weird. First I logged in with the customer account I created when I first installed the cart. I chose a product and added it to my shopping cart. Proceeded to checkout and entered in all of my information. The entire time my url shows that I am still on the https://awesomepoolsite.com domain all the way through until I get to the "comfirm order" button. Once I click that it loads for about 20 seconds and then goes to the sign in page like I wasn't signed in. I also noticed that the url now was "https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll". So, I try to log in on the sign in page and it just refreshes the page when I enter my log in info and hit "Sign In".

 

Now this is a real problem but it is not the funniest part. Here is the funniest part. First off when I go back to https://awesomepoolsite.com/os and log back in, the item that i was trying to purchase is still in my cart and not in my "purchases" area in my account. On top of that I get an email reciept for the purchase I tried to make but never saw a comformation page and it doesn't show up in my purchase history.

 

I thought that maybe the cart was redirecting me to the "sign in" page instead of the "order conformation page" but I doubt that since my purchase history is not loggin the purchase, but I also don't understand why I am getting an email receipt for this.

 

I am so lost. I have no Idea where to begin and I REALLY do not want to delete this and reinstall it seeing as how I have spend over 12 hours entering in products and editing the cart settings. Can someone please please please help point me in the right direction? I am very new to shopping carts. In fact this is my first one.

One more thing. I have already try clearing my cookies and retrying.

Unsure if you have configured your SSL cert right,

 

https://awesomepoolsite.com/os.

 

is not the same as

 

https://www.awesomepoolsite.com/os.

 

When you generated your CSR did you do it for

 

awesomepoolsite.com or www.awesomepoolsite.com as this makes a difference.

I bought the SSL under "awesomepoolsite.com".

[Guest]

I also generated the CSR with "awesomepoolsite.com".

The SSL cert seems to be switching itself on and off correctly, so its seems setup right, your images are all broken.

yea I was playing around with the code and tried to enter a description area to see if I could enter another pic. I plan on taking it back out.

In addition I entered my products without uploading any images. I am collecting the images now to upload later.

[Guest]

Am I describing this correctly? It is a very confusing situation to me.

I find it hard to believe that with a member count of 100,000+ that no one has a clue on how to tackel this issue. That is surprising. I don't need a solution spelled out for me but a nice nudge in a direction would be helpful.

I might be alone in this but whenever I see such a long bit of text asking a question, I usually ignore it. Even re-reading it now, I'm not sure what your problem is. If you asked the question again without so much narrative you might get more responses.
