Installing OSC on Yahoo Host with SSL


msettip

Recommended Posts

I have checked the forums up and down and have not been able to find an answer to this. Everything is running fine without the SSL installation. However, when I installed the product with SSL enabled and moved the required files into a folder named "ssl" (as required to use shared ssl with yahoo servers) the checkout page will not work. Also, none of the Administration changes made are saved.

 

Is there anyone out there that has successfully installed their osc on yahoo's servers with ssl?

Hi, I have successfully installed Yahoo on the ssl folder. The paths need to be correct or it will not work.

To install it check out the instructions a pdf I have posted at my website. You will have a big smile when it works!

Here is the store, of course it is not completed.

No - but there's plenty of people with a lot more grey hairs after trying ;-)

 

Yahoo and OSC are not the best of friends. If I were you I'd save yourself a lot of blood, sweat and tears and move to a decent web hosting company.

Wow this saved me alot. I probably did the install 5 times and spent a 5 hours trouble shooting. Now that I have the install working - did you manage to get the sessions saved or do we have to set it to false because we are using a shared ssl.

 

Also, will it possible to move the index.php to the root folder? Or does it have to stay in the ssl folder?

I successfully installed it on Yahoo Small Busiess. Follow my instructions at

www.natural-health-doctor.com/install, you will find a pdf.

 

These instructions have screen shoots of the install process. I spent probably 20+ hours figuring this

out. It is simple!

 

Good luck

I have my site installed on the Yahoo server using their "webhosting" system. I used to be a "yahoo store" but I found it limiting. I have had very good success so far and I love the way OSC works.

 

The Problem:

As soon as I switched from the yahoo "store manager" system to the "webhosting" system my number of hits fell of a cliff.... Is there any way to integrate the two systems? Am I nuts even asking?

 

Ideally I would like to have yahoo pull the product information for their "store manager" from my database.

 

or second choice.....

 

I would like OSC to pull item information off of the yahoo store manager database

 

I am php challenged but I could really use some input from those of you with experience.

 

THANK YOU!!!!

I've FINALLY gotten this to work! Here's my configure.php:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://s.p10.hostingprod.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://s.p10.hostingprod.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 's.p10.hostingprod.com');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 's.p10.hostingprod.com');

define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/');

define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/');

 

 

It appears that the HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER have to match the HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN and HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN, and sinc eyou can't have any '/' in the HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN and HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN, you have to add those in the path, since Yahoo webhosting adds that to the URL.

 

Hopefully this can help someone, if it does drop me a line!

Here's my configure.php for admin, took me a while to get this right too:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://s.p10.hostingprod.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://s.p10.hostingprod.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://s.p10.hostingprod.com');

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

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/@www.voltphreaks.com/ssl/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
