userhaianxd Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Hi, I am setting up a new store; I purchased a SSL certificate from my host company. I need some help to understand how SSL works with oscommerce. 1. I noticed that the host company installed the catalog directory in two folders, one is the normal public directory (which can be access using http), another is an ssl directory (can be accessed using https, I think), how do these two catalog directory work together? 2. Before they installed the SSL certificate for my site, the site was using shared ssl, I noticed that, after I added some items to my shopping cart, and then click check out, which brought me to https page, the items I added to shopping cart disappeared, what could be the reason, how can I fix it? I appreciate any help! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 Your hosts are using one of those awful two-folder systems. First thing to do is to ask them to Sym Link (Symbolically Link) the 'ssl' folder to the httpdocs folder - which will remove the need to keep two sets of files. For the shopping cart problem your https_cookie_domain is probably incorrect in your includes/configure.php file. Your ssl certificate is either issued to www.yourdomain.com or just to yourdomain.com. Whichever one it is that's your https_cookie_domain. There's no http:// or https:// in either your http or https_cookie_domain settings. Vger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
