Cant change 'false' to 'true' to implement SSL

[altermate]

I have purchased the SSL and the company has told me it is set up and ready for use. I have followed the instructions to change set paths to 'true' rather than 'false'. However when I try to save it it tells me that there is an issue and it wont save. Any ideas why?

Change the permission of that file to 644, make your changes, upload it, and set it back to 444 or 400.

Thanx.. I was able to edit that but how do I know it is working?? Should there be a padlock etc...??

Pretend you're a customer who is logging in, and check whether it goes to "https:" instead of "http" in the browser's URL.

Did that, and it didn't change... Must be doing something wrong somewhere... Any ideas?

One thing to try is to check your configuration files (there are two, one for admin and one for your normal 'catalog'). The paths need to be updated.

For example includes/configure.php contains a few defines which specify different locations for secure (https) and non secure (http). Not sure if this is helps you.

Thanx... does there need to be a padlock anywhere when the https is present in the URL?

There should be a little padlock somewhere in your browser.

Thank you... The whole site seems to be working with the padlock next to the URL.. All I need now is to get the SSL Seal from my SSl Company to show up properly.

Tip: If you're adding images to a page which will be used within SSL, then you should use the "https" version of the image's pathname, rather than the "http" version. This will avoid the "your site contains both secure and insecure..." message. Good luck!

Only the registration pages and shopping cart check out procedure should be secured. You have this line set for https when it should be http.

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.my_domain.com');

Oh... ok so in the includes/configure.php I only need to change the https_server to https etc... that sounds right.. Thanx. It did the job too. Thanx
