long time reader first time poster.

 

i just had installed my first oscommerce and everything gone great without any interruption. installation done, excited and wanted to test it asap. when i did, i had this window prompt about the ssl certificate asking me if i want to continue, i would click on continue and it goes to an error page, nothing happens, can't create user, can't login either.

 

pls help.

 

thanks and happy holidays

Your secure URL is not pointing to the same place as your regular URL, so it is not finding the files. You either need to change your secure configuration or copy your files where it is looking. The SSL warning is because you don't have your own SSL certificate. The warning is (correctly) saying that you are trying to use someone else's certificate to secure the connection. The normal fix for this is to use their URL as well as their certificate.

 

A short term fix (just to get the store up and running for testing purposes) would be to change to

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

in both includes/configure.php files.

 

Hth,

You can get SSL two ways:

 

1. They provide: You can use a shared SSL that is owned by your host. This will give you a URL that starts something like https://theirsecuredomain.net/yourdomain.com

 

2. You get it yourself: You can buy your own SSL certificate (sometimes available for $50 or less) and have your host install it for you. This should give you a URL that looks like https://www.yourdomain.com

 

The second option is a bit more professional, but the first option can be good for starting out. If you choose the first option, they should be able to help you configure it.

 

Hth,

Matt
