Using shared ssl

[com1usa]

I am hosted with a company that offers shared ssl I am told that the link to my shared ssl server is secure24.dnsrouter.com/~username/directory/

 

How exactly do I translate that into making oscommerce work for me. i have created an awesome oscommerce site, everything works great, but cant send the purchaser to https- have tried everything....

gone to configure.php file and changed secure ctalog settings to above link but it dosent work. i tried re-directing entire shop to https, and that works, except when I get to the CC page it goes back to http!!!!!

 

What to do!!!!!

I used a shared certificate ... my settings look like:

 

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

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.sashbox.net/thewebmakerscorner.com');

 

On another site, same server without a virtual link:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.8thoctave.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.sashbox.net/~octave');

 

I prefer the virtual link as the ~ makes me feel like the site looks cheaper ... bad enough I have a shared certificate on there ... :D

Also, make sure you are not using $DOCUMENT_ROOT in your definitions. Use the real path, example:

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/octave/public_html');
