The e-commerce.

separate secure server question


achieve

Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have previously developed websites with shopping carts for other clients, and although these sites are still working very well after years of use, I like the concept of OSC. With my clients existing online shops, thier main website would be say at http://www.clientshop.com but when it comes to handling payment information they move onto my secure server at https://www.mysecureserver.com/clientshop

 

Can this be done with OSC, and if so would OSC also need to be installed on both http://www.clientshop.com and https://www.mysecureserver.com/clientshop

 

Thanks,

Declan.

If its a separate server then I assume oscommerce would need to be installed at both locations I'm not even sure that would work. You would need to remotely connect the databases. Doesn't sound like the most secure method.

 

If its a shared SSL cert on the same server then you need to make those changes in your configuration. I did this method years ago and some servers required putting the secure files in an HTTPS directory, other servers just required setting the configuration to use the shared SSL url.

 

Just buy a SSL cert for 25.00 and have it installed on the primary domain. .

Thanks for that. Yeah I think what you say makes sense.
