Is there a step by step SSL guide?

[♥John W]

Hi All,

 

I have been reading what seems like a lot of threads on SSl and have gotten 1/2 way. I have my https-SSL working but I'm not sure how to have OSC go to https pages for only the data critical pages. It seems like this is a common area of confusion, and there are some threads that have been very helpful with some great explanations, and if someone can refer me to a thread that would help. But, I have read several and I'm still a little confused at this part. :?

 

Can't we just tell it to point to the https version of Checkout_payment.php?

 

Any advice is appreciated, but good advice is even more appreciated. :D

Anyone?

Most of the confusion people have with SSL is from setting up the certificate.. not from turning it on in oscommerce :)

 

look in your configuration.php file (line 14ish) for these

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://localhost'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://localhost'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers

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

 

change the 'ENABLE_SSL' value to either TRUE/FALSE for turning on/off SSL.

 

Can't be much more straight forward :)

Well, someone just told me that it has to be set in both catalog/includes/configure and admin/includes/configure

 

 

I didn't realize there were two areas.

so, I am going to try that and let you know.
