Image Error under SSL in Admin

gareth123456 · March 4, 2004

I have searched high and low for a solution for this but failed to find a suitable solution:

When I log in to Admin under ssl, and click on Catolog, I get the following error message at the top of my screen:

Error: Catalog images directory does not exist: /home/b/o/bookseducation/public_html/images/books/

I just know it is something to do with my admin config.php code, but what?

Here is my code:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www1.secureserver.co.uk/mysite/'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mysite.com');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www1.secureserver.co.uk/mysite/');
 define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
 define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/m/s/mysite/public_html/'); // where the pages are located on the server
 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', 'admin/'); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT-ROOT . DIR-WS-ADMIN); // absolute pate required
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', ''); // absolute path required
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_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_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
 define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
 define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
 define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/books/');
 define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');
 define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

// define our database connection
 define('DB_SERVER', 'server20'); // eg, localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'myusername);
 define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'mypassword');
 define('DB_DATABASE', 'mydatabase');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persisstent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

My image files are all set to CHMOD 777, my product images are stored in images/books/

I have tried setting 'DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT' to '/home/m/s/mysite/public_html/ as above, and 'https://www1.secureserver.co.uk/mysite/' both to no avail.

What can I do?

Many thanks

Gareth

I am still really stuck! Everything else works fine, just the catalog images not showing in Admin.....

Any help would make me very happy.

antonbartolo · March 5, 2004

Having similar trouble except that I don't get the error message at the top. I just get the x's instead of the images and the wrong address pointing to the images!

I tried changing my configuration file around but did not solve the problem.

I will let you know if I find the bug!

Same problem here. If this helps any, the admin script tries to pull the images from www.horusandisis.com even though I set my site root url to www.horusandisis.com/~username/oscommerce.

It's cutting the image url off after .com , so the url is www.horusandisis.com/images...

instead of what it should be:

www.horusandisis.com/~username/oscommerce

My shop worked perfectly, but i made a new install in a different directory with a different database using the fresh SEC install (thats where my problem is. everything in configure.php matches the old one as much as possible). I don't know php or mysql, so it's dificult for me to help any further than explaining these details. I hope this helps, but I hope someone smarter can contribute to this topic. :)

i'm having a similar issue..

But when i add the ssl to the admin, all my modules desapear.. Per example after instaling ths ssl any way of payment was showing...

any ideas what can it be?

I finally got some time to spend on this and solved it for my site! 241 suggested a solution for gareth123456. I will try to give an explanation of what was my problem using the following example and hopefully everyone can solve their own problem themselves!

Secure server: https://ssl.secureserver.com

Website: http://www.mywebsite.com

Catalog: http://www.mywebsite.com/shop/

Admin: https://ssl.secureserver.com/mywebsite/dir1/admin/

Link to secure shop: https://ssl.secureserver.com/mywebsite/shop ->

http://www.mywebsite.com/shop

DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT:/usr/www/users/mywebsite/shop/

DIR_FS_ADMIN:/usr/wwws/users/mywebsite/dir1/admin/

DIR_FS_CATALOG:/usr/www/users/mywebsite/shop/

Above link in FS format:/usr/wwws/users/mywebsite/shop ->

/usr/www/users/mywebsite/shop/

Solution:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://ssl.secureserver.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.mywebsite.com');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://ssl.secureserver.com');

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/mywebsite/dir1/admin/');

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/mywebsite/shop/');

The problem with this configuration is that in:

\admin\includes\functions\html_output.php

the line:

$link = HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;

gives:

http://www.mywebsite.com/mywebsite/shop/

which is wrong (/mywebsite is extra).

To solve this I had to add this to the configure.php file:

define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/shop/');

and change the two instances of the above in html_output.php to:

$link = HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG;

Now this gives the correct:

http://www.mywebsite.com/shop/

cheers!

I just made both http and https as SSL urls. I also typed the directory and subdirectory as part of the url, and for the catalog directory, I used '/'

Everything is working perfect:

The Working Store

The admin area works good too.

Here is the code from /catalog/includes/configure.php:

 define('DB_DATABASE', '*************');
 define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
 define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'
?>

I used only SSL. I look at it this way: It's just making it safer for the clients who visit, and any other browser that doesn't support 128-bit SSL shouldn't be exchanging sensitive informtion, so it's good to use only SSL connections.

I hope this helps. It's not the most intelligent solution, but it works. :huh:

OOPS. I was in a hurry and I posted this without reading the newest replies. I guess this one's been solved already. Nice solution Anton. Thats the real way to fix this problem. (much better than my suggestion) lol

I think it also fixes the problem with the "top" link on the navigation bar linking the the base URL www.site.com. So this may be a good fix to shared SSL hosting.

antonbartolo · March 14, 2004

I am under the impression that SSL is slower than non-SSL due to the encryption process. So I try to avoid SSL unless it is necessary i.e. unless there is sensitive info being exchanged.
