reasonable Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 I am sure someone (at least one) has asked this before but with the number of pages to go through it is difficult to find. And the search facility returns at lot of related but not quite there posts. I have no experience with php or programming in general. My site www.heartsfireleathers.com/catalog/ The host is Yahoo. There is support for ssl and I installed OSC to meet the requirements for Yahoo's ssl server. The PHP version they use is 3. If I connect to the above url it connects fine. However if I attempt to create a user and am directed to the following url https://heartsfireleathers.com/ssl/catalog/...ate_account.php I get an unable to connect to database server. Would greatly appreciate any help. Ron If we knew it all we wouldn't be here would we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 11, 2003 Share Posted July 11, 2003 Look up ENABLE_SSL and change the true to false for now (if this fixes it, we can look for a permanent fix later). I wrote the following before I realized that the page with the error had the https. I'll leave it in case someone else looks or you still have problems. 1. Did you create a database in MySQL? 2. Did you run the install script (you did install 2.2 MS1 or 2.2 CVS, right)? 3. Are you sure that you put in the right DB settings? 4. (Unlikely.) Have you verified that configure.php is readable? Btw, if it's just an SSL issue, you will have to describe more about how they set up their sites. Do you have two separate directories for secure and non-secure? Are they on different servers? You may have to install differently on the secure side. Good luck, Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reasonable Posted July 11, 2003 Author Share Posted July 11, 2003 Matt, I managed to find a partial fix. It will probably require several hours of searching through the files to get everything to work. Yahoo does indeed have separate directories for secure and unsecure. To make files feed through the SSL server you create an ssl directory somewhere in the path that is being used. Then the Catalog directories are copied both into the / and the ssl directories. The install this way works fine and the database is indeed given the correct parameters. The failure was in the configure.php file in the /ssl/catalog directory. This did not have the data base entries and once changed I was able to connect to the create account process. Now all I have to do is is get the paths correct in all the files so that the ones located in the ssl/catalog directory load from there instead of trying to go to the /catalog directory. Thanks Again, Ron p.s never had a problem with the non secure version when I installed without ssl. Ron If we knew it all we wouldn't be here would we?
