SSL Problems

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm having some problems setting up SSL correctly. I have a shared SSL certificate from my host and I have edited the includes/configure file to suit. The symptom are as as follows:

 

- When I sign in as a customer I get the "welcome back, David" message and everything appears fine but I can’t access the My Account Information page, it just keeps asking me to sign in again.

 

- When I add an item to the cart and click checkout the checkout procedure is SSL protected, but if I go onto a non SSL page I loose what I had in my shopping cart.

 

I assume these two things above are caused by the same problem. The site works perfectly without SSL enabled. Below is my includes/configure file. I also have "force cookie use" set to true.

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mydomain.co.uk'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mydomain.c7.hostexcellence.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');
 define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
 define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
 define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
 define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');
 define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
 define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
 define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
 define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');

 define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', 'pub/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/hsphere/local/home/mydomain123/mydomain.co.uk/');
 define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
 define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

// define our database connection
 define('DB_SERVER', 'mysql400.hostexcellence.com'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', '*******');
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '*******');
 define('DB_DATABASE', 'oscommerce');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
?>

 

What's the problem? Thanks, David
