Checkout Not Working.

[Guest]

Having not long since started using osCommerce I'm finally at the stage of adding products to my site & setting the payment method up. However, when I come to test this (its PayPal Standard BTW) I put an item in the shopping cart, hit the checkout button and get "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". The URL is https://<my-site>/checkout_shipping.php.

 

At the moment I can't figure out if this is being caused by the PayPal set-up or is within osC.

 

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks

If you don't have a SSL cert. installed disable SSL in the configure file:

 

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

Hi Jim

Really appreciate the reply.

If you don't have a SSL cert. installed disable SSL in the configure file:

 

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

 

Please explain how I can find and get into the file "https://<my-site>/checkout_shipping.php ...

Use your cPanel.

 

You have the same problem - No SSL.

 

So just turn it off or install a SSL cert. - no big deal.

Excuse me, I'm probably being dull-witted about this, but it's not clear to me what you are suggesting I should do. Do I just paste this line of code anywhere in the checkout_shipping.php page? Or is there a line of code somewhere in this page that I am supposed to alter?

The file you need to change is /includes/configure.php

 

And I wouldn't use the osC File Mangler Manager to edit anything.

 

Login to your cPanel and use the editor there.

Thanks for your patience! I did that -- and I got this message:

[a fatal error or timeout occurred while processing this directive]

 

I tried it with the code exactly as you gave it. I tried cut-n-paste. I typed it out. I tried it with ' ' around false. I tried it without the //notes. Each time I get the same message -- fatal error. And the change does not appear in the configure.php file.

There should be a line in there that looks like this:

 

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

Just change the true to false

I was in this same exact situation. Now I fixed it so thanks! But my next question is, how do I get an SSL cert and install it then?

The same thing is happening to me. It won't allow me to change the true to false.

You probably have it set to 444 (or lower) permissions.

 

That makes it "read only".

 

Find out what the permissions currently are. WRITE IT DOWN!

 

Change the permissions to 644.

 

Make any edits.

 

Change the permission back to what you wrote down.

 

Simple.

;)
