Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch

[Tzig]

Hi all!

 

I am almost ready to go live with my online shop but I have this error when I am redirected to paypal site for the payment procedure (Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch). It says that the security certificate belongs to "plesk".

I don't have a SSL cert installed and I don't want to use one for now, because I don't need my site to be secure since payments are done through paypal and there is no credit card information stored on my site.

Now on my hosting company's site says that all of their hosting options come with the use of their shared secure server. What does this means: I have allready installed their certificate or what? How can I see this?

I have in my both configure.php files enable SSL set to false.

I would like to know how to get rid of that message.

In my FTP account I have the catalog installed in httpdocs and there is also an httpsdocs folder, do I have to put any file there?

Hope that someone can help me!

 

Thanks!!

First off, you do need an ssl certificate since the customers information is not protected, when creating a new account for example. Your host is sayig they enable the shared certificate automatically. But if you have disabled that option in the configure file, it should not come into play. Try going through an order process and look at the url while on the checkout payment page. Is it your url or the shared url? But even if the shared cert is being used, it should work with paypal. If your host does not have the two http directories set up correctly, then that might be the problem. On some hosts, you need to duplicate all information in those directories.

Ok, I understand that I need an SSL but I don't want to buy it yet.

The URL in my entire checkout process it's http://mysite.com/checkout_shipping.php --> http://mysite.com/checkout_payment.php --> http://mysite.com/checkout_confirmation.php then redirected to www.paypal.com where I get that error!

Should I copy my entire catalog in the httpsdocs too?

I have copied the entire catalog in my httpsdocs folder too and set enable SSL to true. Now i have this error: FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it! Does anyone know how can I fix this?

I don't have knowledge of php so please take it easy with me!! :blush:

I have this error: "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!" only when I'm redirected to a secure page (https) the http:// pages are working fine!!!

Any advice will be appreciated.

becoming very common on secure servers, where you are switched to a different server for your shared cert. Only cure is to change hosting company to one that supports oscommerce installations.

 

As to the error you first noted, are you using IE 7?

I am using IE 6 and Mozilla Firefox and getting the same error: "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!" only when I try to access the secured pages (https).

I also found a contribution Register globals, should I use this one? Does anybody know if this will solve my problem?

Thanks!

Please if anyone can help me!!

I will tell you again my problem.

So, I have 2 directories httpdocs and httpsdocs. First I had installed my catalog in the httpdocs folder, I had Enable SSL set to false and when I was completing an order, when I was redirected to the PayPal page I was getting the Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch saying that the certificate doesn't belongs to my domain. I am not using SSL(at least I didn't buy any SSL certificate, my hosting company says that the hosting plan comes wit :( h the shared SSL certificate - I believe that I am using that certificate as long as I receive the Domain Name Mismatch error. But then if I had the Enable SSL option set to false why I was getting this error?)

Then I copied the entire catalog into my httpsdocs folder too (now I have it in both folders: in httpdocs is installed, in httpsdocs is copied), I set Enable SSL to true and when I am redirected to a secure page I am receiving the same Domain Name Mismatch error and this one too: "FATAL ERROR: register_globals is disabled in php.ini, please enable it!" :blink:

Please I really need help with this as I was planning to go live with my store from tomorrow!!! :(

You will need to install the register globals contribuiton or insert a file named php.ini with register_globals=on as its contents. Upload that file to any directory where a script is failing.

OK, I have installed the Register Global contribution.

Now I still have the Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch when I am redirected to a secured page, either mine (https://mystore.com) or PayPal page and besides this, the secured pages are not showing right. the boxes are not loading correctly. You can take a look at my website.

Please I really need some help with this! :'(

Oh, seems to be ok now with the secured pages!! :P

But what I still don't know is how can I get rid of that message: Security Error: Domain Name Mismatch?

It says that the secure certificate belongs to plesk and not to my domain...

My hosting company says that the hosting plan came with the shared SSL cert. If I am getting this error that means I am using the shared SSL, right? But even when I disable SSL in both config files I still get the error, I don't get it why?

All I want to do is not using any SSL certificate and not to receive the Security Error when I am redirected to the PayPal site.

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!

Ok, I think I've got you all confused with such many posts and information, but I still have this problem. Now, like I've told you, I have managed to have my sites secured but when I'm redirected to the first secured site I'm still getting that error "Security Error: Domaina Name Mismatch" because the shared SSL cert. is registered for the hosting company (I think).

I can't believe that I am the only one using a shared SSL certificate. It isn't any posibility to get rid of this error?

I doubt that this is an oscommerce-related problem. There are very many users of oscommerce that use shared certificates. I have over a dozen carts set up using shared ssl with several different hosting companies, and have zero problems connecting to PayPal or any other services. Occasionally a problem will arrise when you have to duplicate files on a separate secure server, but this is an issue that has to be handled by your hosting company. They need to provide the specific answers for your specific situation.
