Sorry but this is a big detailed post!!!!!!!!

Hi everybody,

 

I have now tried everything to make this work so I am now going to put every detail I can in to sort it out!!!

 

Catalog is fine, secure at checkout etc, no problem!! What I want is a secure SSL admin area. So I have edited the configure file in:

 

/ public_html / catalog / admin / includes /

 

To this:

// Define the webserver and path parameters

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

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.securesite11.com/~artist'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.artist-bears.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.securesite11.com/~artist');

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

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/artist/public_html/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/artist/public_html/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/artist/public_html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/');

define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

artist-bears.com is the website which I am have hosted by prowebspace.com and securesite11.com is the shared SSL area I have been given with the prefix /~artist for my area.

 

OK, now when I try go to www.artist-bears.com/catalog/admin I get this error.

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/artist/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php:47) in /home/artist/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

 

And when I go to click on administration, a box comes up about the security certificate, which is ok, it then goes into SSL but never takes me anywhere, just back to where I started, with these errors!

 

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/artist/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/configure.php:48) in /home/artist/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 67

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

My other problem is I want it so that even when I type in the admin address:

 

http://www.artist-bears.com/catalog/admin/

 

It automatically jumps into SSL mode, before asking me for my username and password which I shall put on the admin folder!!

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY OR ELSE I MAY ACTUALLY DIE

 

Thanks

Before anyone says its OK, thats because I have re-installed it to get rid of the error messages which are annoying me!!!!!!!!!

Try this:

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.securesite11.com/~artist'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers 

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.securesite11.com/~artist'); 

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.securesite11.com/~artist'); 

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

 

My other problem is I want it so that even when I type in the admin address:

 

http://www.artist-bears.com/catalog/admin/

 

It automatically jumps into SSL mode, before asking me for my username and password which I shall put on the admin folder!!

 

That is not an SSL address ie "http://" v. "https://" so of course it is not going to be secure as you are calling up a non SSL page. Try the above change and then type in this (or whatever the correct path would be) to gain access to your panel:

 

https://www.securesite11.com/~artist/catalog/admin/

[curlyflash]

Change this line-

 

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

to-

 

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

 

That should turn off the SSL when you first visit your site.
