osCommerce and SSL

Recommended Posts

Hi. Im using BlueHost and they only allow SSL for the main domain.com, and I have osCommerce on shop.domain.com... Does that pose a problem? Or is osCommerce able to utilize main domain's SSL?

 

 

Related question. I plan on using Google Checkout exclusively, do I need to worry about SSL? Is it good idea to use Google Checkout exclusively? (Im attrackted to charback protection)

Shouldn't be a big deal I don't think - just modify your includes/configure.php file to display shop.domain.com as teh SSL enabled domain, and find out! :-)

Thanks for the fast reply. I have two configure.php's? I haven't looked into that...

 

My setup is as follows. /public_html/shop/

osCommerce was installed using fantastico into shop.domain.com, so when you type shop.domain.com you go into /public_html/shop, and when you type www.domain.com/shop you get a perminent redirect to shop.domain.com

 

How should my configure.php be configured? Please explain... I need to decide whether I'll be using subdomain or just have shop in www.domain.com/shop

 

Thanks.

Change this line in your includes/configure.php to :

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

 

Or - just type this it the address bar and see what happens.

If this doesn't work,

Change this line in your includes/configure.php to :

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

 

and see what happens.

 

If either of this works - go and make the same changes to the /admin/includes/configure.php file.

 

I don't know if it will work or not - but this should only take you about 2 minutes to make the change, upload the file and test the checkout.

Watch your address bar the whole time. :-)

Now, is it good idea or bad idea to use Google Checkout exclusively?

 

 

Personally I would not do this. People expect more options and you don't want to lose sales 'cause someone doesn't have, and doens't want to create a Google account to purchase something.
