SSL problem


Guest

Recommended Posts

I have just installed MS2 and I want to get the SSL working.

 

I am on a shared server and have configured the cart with this address. When the cart tries to access the server in secure mode I get a server error message. The guys at my hosting co have sent me a copy of the error log:

 

[Mon Mar 8 15:00:58 2004] [error] [client 81.168.30.141] Directory index forbidden by rule: /domains/f/l/floralart.co.uk/public_html/catalog/images/

 

The hosting co is here in the UK called Donhost. I did find someone called Mindvision posting the same prob who said ....

 

Then go to this message from Robert which is related to suexec not working on the server:

I have been spending some time trying to sort this. I have found someone else who was posting exactly the same problem with the same hosting co.

 

There was no answer to his thread but I have checked his site http://www.signprint.co.uk/ and it now works.

 

Very frustrating - I know it can be done but how???

 

 

Please help

The guy from signprint who has his site working kindly pm'd me.

 

He said the directory had permissions set and I had to delete the htaccess file.

 

I have done this and now when I go to checkout I get:

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /amd/17/fs/home/f/l/floralart/public_html/catalog/includes/functions/database.php on line 19

Unable to connect to database server!

 

Any ideas anyone - pleeese

This is now sorted

 

For the benefit of other Donhost users in the UK here's what you do.

 

Go to your Donhost CP & find out the number of the server where you site is hosted.

 

In catalog/includes & catalog/admin/includes alter the configure.php file so it reads

 

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

 

Where xx is your server

 

instead of:

 

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

 

Its a great feeling to get it working

That's the same for nearly every shared server set-up as far as my experience goes. I've never had a dedicated server, only shared accounts and I've always been assigned a db server host by the hosting service. I think localhost only works if you "own" the entire machine. I could be wrong though.

Local: Mac OS X 10.5.8 - Apache 2.2/php 5.3.0/MySQL 5.4.10 • Web Servers: Linux

Tools: BBEdit, Coda, Versions (Subversion), Sequel Pro (db management)
