Issue with security certificate

[yazawa]

I'm working on my second OSC page. On the first, I had no problem accessing the Create Account, Account Login, and other pages. On my new OSC site, I keep getting the Invalid Security Certificate error. I get this because on my second OSC pages, the links to the problem pages begin with "HTTPS", for an SSL secure page. Since I cannot afford to pay for a dedicated IP address required to get an SSL for a site that has very little traffic, I am not planning to get one at this time, instead, relying on keeping the financial transactions secure through PayPal's system.

 

The problem I face is how do I remove all the HTTPS links without searching through all OSC files, one at a time? It's frustrating because I don't want to screw up my OSC system by changing the wrong file(s). Is there an easy setting to do this that I haven't found yet on the administration page? I find it weird that I didn't face this issue on my first OSC site, which is hosted by the same company.

 

Thanks

/catalog/includes/configure.php

 

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

Set those like that and no HTTPS links should be generated.

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

Thanks for the prompt reply. Made the changes, but I still get the HTTPS for the Create Account, Login Account pages. The code in the files you mentioned have a comment about the code being used for the check-out procedure. What file would cover the same thing for the user account pages?

See if this file exists on the server:

 

/catalog/includes/local/configure.php

 

If so it may have lines like this:

 

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yoursite.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', 1);

They should be changed to:

 

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', ''); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', 0);

I have the /local/ directory, but there is no configure.php file in it.

Then I guess you'll just have to find the SSL links, one at a time, and change them to NONSSL

 

"Standard" non modified osC code won't use SSL unless the configure file specifies it.
