Implementing Secure Check-Out After Initial Installation?

OK, I see forum posts about similar topics, but I can't find an exact match.

 

I've been working and fine-tuning a new store for the last few months. At the time of initial install, I didn't have a SSL certificate, so I installed without https/SSL. I figure it's essential that I implement one so my customers will feel comfortable and protected.

 

I'm sure that I don't need the whole catalog and such running on a secure server, but I'm pretty sure that once the customer starts to enter financial / payment data, I need security.

 

The last thing I really want to do is start over with a clean install. And, I'm not savvy enough to figure it out myself. How do I implement this change without having to rebuild everything from the start? I haven't "bought" my certificate from my host company (1 & 1) yet, so I'm really at the beginning on this -- which might be good as I haven't misapplied the certificate yet.

Hi Mike,

All you will need to change once it is installed is your configure.php files, one in Admin / includes and one in Catalog / includes

Change the HTTPS server to your HTTPS address and then set enable SSL? to true by just deleting false, and type it in there.

Regards

Nic
