marshall Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 a. How important is it to have a SSL Secure connection.. i see an open lock on my admin page... b. Also what does a persistant connection do and how do i impliment this?
portalplanet Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 a. This is way important if you're going to process credit cards. Heck it's only like 15 a year for the low grade ones I usually just buy that for my sites that don't process credit cards. Don't expect credit card sales if you don't have SSL. b. I'm not sure about this one... Persistent to me sounds like a shell connection or something. Where do you see osCommerce mentioning that? Is it in the database settings? Justin

Also what does a persistant connection do and how do i impliment this? a. How do I obtain an SSL secure connection??? b. I saw persistent connection during my set up of oscommerce.. i think it keeps customers logged in unless they manually log off.. I would like to know how to establish a persistant connection..
portalplanet Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Marshall, a: You will need to setup SSL. Not an easy thing. Every host is different. I know how to do it with hsphere but most likely you're not with an hsphere host as there aren't many of us as compared to cpanel. If your host is using hsphere let me know and I can help you. cpanel I don't know. I do know you need the site to be on a dedicated IP address. b: Not sure. I don't run the setup wizard I have a customized version I use and I manually install it. Justin

I have a dedicated IP address and the host offers shared SSL which i have enabled, have edited the catalog/includes/configure.php but I still keep getting the open padlock in admin any ideas as to where I am going wrong? sarah
portalplanet Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 If SSL is all setup on the site you can change the http to https in the URL bar. I don't think by default the admin section is setup to use SSL. Justin
littlewiggles Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Even my check out pages dont have a padlock in the corner, i am using paypal website payment pro uk and ixwebhosting
portalplanet Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Did you enable SSL in includes/configure.php define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? Also make sure you have a S in this line in the same file: define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https Justin
littlewiggles Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 my catalog/includes/configure.php file reads this: Define the webserver and path parameters // * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical) // * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL) define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.littlewigglesclothing.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://littlewigglesclothingorders.c4.ixwebhosting.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.littlewigglesclothing.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'littlewigglesclothingorders.c4.ixwebhosting.com'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); 'https://littlewigglesclothingorders.c4.ixwebhosting.com' is the 3rd level domain which my webhost states i need to use when using ssl
portalplanet Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 https://littlewigglesclothingorders.c4.ixwe...talog/login.php works fine for me in Firefox and shows the secure icon. Justin
littlewiggles Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 seems to be working fine now apart from i've lost the ability to checkout without an account and when try to check out get the following message Fatal error: Call to undefined function: tep_paypal_wpp_enabled() in /hsphere/local/home/hotnhorn/littlewigglesclothing.com/catalog/includes/modules/payment/paypal_wpp_uk.php on line 36
