Using oscommerce

[brianj50]

I am a dumb newbie and totally lost here. I installed oscommerce from the cpanel of my web provider and it seemed to work. I put a product into my stock and tried to purchase it. It went into my shopping cart but when I go to check out I get " The page cannot be displayed"

 

This is what showsin the command bar.

https://mdwdirect.com/mdwstore/checkout_shi...ce35f59d7acfa29

 

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to get this to work right.

 

Thanks in advance

How do I check

[xxGeek]

you will need to make changes to your configre.php files in both admin and catalog sections

Ps how did you install this?

and what is your ssl path, from what it looks like you're on a shared ssl>>

when i tried calling your page like such https://mdwdirect.com comes up

not found when done without ssl it is fine

if your on a shared ssl

most likely your path will look something like this

https://ssl.host.com/~account_name

but this info you need to get from the host

[Guest]

Your configure.php file can be found in the /catalog/includes and /admin/includes folders.

I found out that the path is

 

 

https://secure.l40dns.net/~mdwdire/

 

Can you tell me how to change it so it will work

[xxGeek]

could you tell me which version you're using if it the ms2 snap it is different than 2.2 snaps there are some variatoins in cookes

once i know that i'll post the code you need to change

but an idea would be to look for it in .../catalog/includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mdwdirect.com/mdwstore'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.l40dns.net/~mdwdire/mdwstore'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

and the ..../catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mdwdirect.com/mdwstore'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure.l40dns.net/~mdwdire/mdwstore');

 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

let me know if it helped :wink: :arrow:

does the ssl path https://secure.l40dns.net/~mdwdire/

go in here somewhere.

[xxGeek]

i fordot to mention that this code ^-^-^-^

should match the one you have as i put in your server specs

(i think :) let me know if it helps :wink:

[brianj50]

It is version 2.2 MS1

[xxGeek]

tes it does notice the changes

your line

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mdwdirect.com');

should be

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.l40dns.net/~mdwdire' );

[/code]

[xxGeek]

and on a personal not never post these lines again

// define our database connection 

define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost'); // eg, localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers 

define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'mdwdire_osc1'); 

define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', '{VIRvnsMGICX'); 

define('DB_DATABASE', 'mdwdire_osc1'); 

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections? 

define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

those contain sensetive information that protect your store

and overall security of your database

and could be very dangerous when relased to the public so i sugest you change the DB username and password

if you have problems doing that please, pm me or email me, i'll walk you through it :!:

[badjuju]

I hope you change all your passwords quickly. Everyone now knows what they are.
