SSL enable

[Guest]

Where do I go to acces the in catalog/includes/configure.php to enable SSL? I am obviously not skilled at writing code and I cannot for the life of me find this directory.

If you installed in the root folder of your site, there may not be a "catalog" folder.

 

The path might be /includes/configure.php

 

And, just in case you don't know, I wouldn't edit it with the osC File Manager.

 

It has problems that will mess you up sometimes.

So when you enable SSL do you need to install a 2nd version of the site on https? I enabled it and when I tried to log into my site I got a 404 error from my host. I don't understand SSL's. Do you have to purchase them to use them?

That can be true depending on your setup, so I've heard.

Ask your Web Host.

Many hosts have "shared" SSL's you can use free of charge.

Thanks Jim.

 

When I enabled it and went to my account section (on the store) it was https. I then got a warning box saying that the SSL was through my host. I clicked ok and then got error404 (host 404 not my site one) instead of my account page. Would it be something I'd need my host to sort out?

Unless you've purchased and installed a dedicated SSL certificate, you should ask your Host what the correct URL for you should be to use their shared SSL.

 

When you know what it is, you can modify your configure files accordingly.
