iam sam Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 I posted above if your cert says www.domainname.com then http://www.domainname.com must be declared. Also Add line like this to catlog/includes/application_top define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://exactname-on-cert.com'); define('ENABLE_SSL', 1); // ssl server enable(1) ...

rbell Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 I had this issue. Even though my Cert showed the https server as mydomain.com I had to enter it as https://secure(server name)(hosting co. domain).com. The only way I could get that name was to call them.

Anyway if you want to eliminate this problem, at the time of installing osCommerce, choose not to use SSL, If you have chosen that and wish to eliminate this problem (not to mention the cost of SSL) uninstall and then reinstall osCommerce, take note this time not to include SSL. At login and create account this is where the problem is created. Cheerioo :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevel Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 SSL is the correct thing to use where customers are entering personal information. It is easy to correctly configure osC to use SSL, but there is no hope of diagnosing the problem if you provide no information other than "it doesn't work". How about an actual URL rather than a fake one? Or post the first 20 lines of your configure.php, which is usually where the error is.

If I run my shop without SSL, and my customer logs in and create an account, say the customer chooses to pay by credit card, wouldn't Paypal be good enough to verify the authenticity and protect the customers' private information. I am seeking to understand sir. Thanks in advance :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥Vger Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Without ssl when a customer fills in the Create Account page and clicks to send their data to you the data is submitted unencrypted. When data is sent out over the internet any competent hacker can intercept data. If the data uses 128-bit encryption then it'll do them a fat lot of good to intercept it, but if it's sent 'in the clear' then they can use it to access that persons account, and also misuse their address and telephone number etc for their activities. In answer to the original question - only certain parts of your website should be secure anyway, and not the landing page at http://www.yourdomain.com or at http://yourdomain.com. This page is only secure when you are logged in and carrying out certain tasks on the website (as a customer), and then you'll be directed to that page at either the http://www. address or just the http:// address based on your settings in configure.php (and also based on how your cert was issued - with or without the www.)

theide Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I posted above if your cert says www.domainname.comthen http://www.domainname.com must be declared. Also Add line like this to catlog/includes/application_top define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://exactname-on-cert.com'); define('ENABLE_SSL', 1); // ssl server enable(1) ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I spent a long time trying to get the site to switch over to SSL for a shopper (even though I could get the admin area to be secured). Your recommendation above saved the day. Thanks very much! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pls help I'm totaly baffled <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Check the path in both your configure.php files it sounds as though you are pointing to your own computer, that's maybe why it is not opening on other pc's. The files are in catalog/includes/configure.php and catalog/admin/includes/configure.php Also to save your loading speeds you don't need to put SSL to true in admin as there is nothing there that needs encrypting all your forms come from catalog. Tip: Make sure that there are no empty spaces before the first <?php at the top of the page and after the last ?> at the bottom. php dont like empty spaces at the beginning or end of a page. Blank spaces can cause Error Warnings. This line: Also Add line like this to catlog/includes/application_top define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://exactname-on-cert.com'); define('ENABLE_SSL', 1); // ssl server enable(1) ... is in catlog/includes/configure.php not as mentioned above.
