[kewldude_3001]

hey i bought a ssl certificate recently and it is installed and running, i just recently changed my link for the catalog from http: to https: and in internet explorer my catalog index completely mess's up like all the links are broken and everything but in mozzilla it works just fine. Also how do i make every page in my store or if im only suppossed to make certain pages secure please help with integrating ssl certificate to store.

can we look at your configuration files?

[kewldude_3001]

hmm sure?? what do u need to see exactly???

[kewldude_3001]

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

//Added the https:

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

changed false to true

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

define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'kumarsbookstore.com');

 

but it wont let me ftp the new file, how do i change the permissions so it will let me???? also i dont want my homepage to be secured, i only want my store part which is /oscommerce/catalog so how can i just make that secure.

How are you ftping the file?

[kewldude_3001]

with a ftp program called smart client

[kewldude_3001]

aight i figured out how to change the permissions and stuff and i changed the line https catalog

 

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', 'shows path');

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'shows same path'); so i see that not all my store pages are https is it supposed to be like that???

 

also it still says that im not using a secure ssl connection on my admin home

How about try using web browser to ftp your files?

 

Like open IE, type ftP://your_domain_name, login with your username & password, and navigate to the folder where your files are uploaded

[kewldude_3001]

thanks but i figured that part out, but not all the pages are https is it supposed to be like that and also it still says that im not protected by a secure ssl connection??? why is that???

Yes, it's supposed to be like that, specially on the pages that require user input, like register/login account, checkout pages, etc.

 

also it still says that im not protected by a secure ssl connection??? why is that???

That one I have no idea...

[kewldude_3001]

for a second it said it was protected by an unknown ssl but now its gone again

its possibe you have images on your front page/header/footer that are causing the problem in IE but not in Firefox

[kewldude_3001]

everything for my catalog is inside my catalog folder, so im a little confused to why its saying that

[satish]

well if ssl certificate is not from a known ssl provider then that message will popup.

 

Also yoru ssl is in the name of https://kumarsbookstore.com/

 

you also have links to some http sites and some content is coming from those sites.

[kewldude_3001]

well mine is from godaddy.com

 

yea im not concerned about the main page being secure, thats just the homepage, my concern is the catalog part.

[Jack_mcs]

Your shops home page is https because that is the way the link to it from your entrance page is setup. Once you are in the shop, click on the logo and you will see it switches to http as it should. The message in your admin section is a bug in the code and should not be worried about. If you enter into the admin, past the blue window, and it doesn't switch to https (assuming your configure file has it enabled), then that is a problem.

[kewldude_3001]

if i go to my admin section from https://site/catalog/admin then it says its secure

 

but when i click on something else like configuration it goes back to http:

 

:(

 

site url is www.kumarsbookstore.com

catalog url is https://kumarsbookstore.com/oscommerce/catalog/

 

i linked to my catalog with https

[Jack_mcs]

Do you have all three of the http entries set to https?

 

Jack

[kewldude_3001]

yea i think its just a glitch, im pretty sure that when it comes to checkout it does https and is secure

[Jack_mcs]

I was referring to the admin but you are talking about the shop. Maybe you should redefine the problem.
