yrlady Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 My catalog is installed at http://ikebagifts.com/shopping (I used shopping instead of catalog) My ssl server at https://secure-order.net/ikebagifts.com I tried creating a symbllic link from my SSL server to my http server but I get a "404 file not found" error. Then I tried to upload my entire catalog (shopping) directory (including the admin directory) to my ssl server. When I mouse over the 'login' or 'create account' link in my store I see the https server info but when I click, it is trying to download the PHP files. I get "Where do you want to save the file xxx.php" Does it mean that the ssl server is not configured to handle php files? How do I fix this? I also copied a file called index.htm in my secure site and it came up when I typed it in the browser. Here it is: https://secure-order.net/ikebagifts.com Can anyone help me? Thanks
Daemonj Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 You are correct, in that your server is not configured to process PHP files. If your host has allowed the privilege, edit your .htaccess file to add: Options FollowSymLink otherwise I suggest contacting your host's support department to correct the problem.

yrlady Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 thanks! I'll see if I can find that file and get back to the boards with my results...
yrlady Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 I don't even see the .htaccess file... Is this supposed to be on the ssl server or the http server ? there is a htaccess file on the http server but none on the ssl server. Can I create one?
Daemonj Posted July 5, 2003 Posted July 5, 2003 It is okay to create an .htaccess file if you do not have one. It should be in the parent folder of your catalog in both locations (secure and unsecure). "Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocre minds.

yrlady Posted July 5, 2003 Author Posted July 5, 2003 Thank you... But does this solve the php configuration problem? I'm still getting the download location request when I try to access my ssl pages. For the time being I'm just going to use the http pages so visitors wont get turned off...
unistar Posted July 18, 2003 Posted July 18, 2003 I need to know how to create an .htaccess file in HTTPS:// that will redirect to HTTP://. I just changed hosting providers and the new ones won't help! Thanks
