Avium Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi guys, I've gotten a shared SSL installed for my store, but I've a question - where can I find the installation instructions for a SSL? I can't seem to locate such a file in the WIKI. Also, I'm seeing a number of problems associated with SSL and sessions (at the time of posting, I see 2 such posts on the first page of this forum). Would you advise be to install the SSL cert or not? I'm accepting Paypal, so by using a 3rd party merchant I know I don't really need a SSL, but it's mainly to give my customers a peace of mind. Any advice will be appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avium Posted March 12, 2004 Author Share Posted March 12, 2004 Any insight on this, guys? I recall seeing a SSL setup step-by-step once, but now I can't seem to find it. I'm using V2.2 MS1, if that's the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 in catalouge->includes->configure.php set: https server addresss enable_ssl to ture https cookie domain https cookie path and that is it ! There should be no reason for ssl to cause any problems with your sessions. The only time you might encounter this is when you have installed a new contribution.

Avium Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Sam, I can't seem to locate the following within the configure.php file: https cookie domain https cookie path I'm on MS1 V2.2, if that helps? When I enabled SSL without editing the 2 lines above (because I can't find them to edit), all the pictures on my website come out as 'broken'. Any advice on this? Also, my https URL is rather ugly - it shows up as 'https://servername.servernumber.com/~mystore'. Is there a way to hide it such that the URL comes up as 'https://www.mystore.com'? Speedy help is much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 like you say the url is ugly. if your going to use ssl i sugest buying a proper cert. I think that i paid ?20 for mine (GBP). as you have a third party payment proccess anyway you might as well ditch the ssl compleatly, as no sensitive information is being sent anyway. If you do wan't to use it regardless post your url and I'll let you know what setting you have wrong. Nimmit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avium Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 Hi Sam, Yeah, my bad. I'm looking around at some SSL certs now, and will probably install one. The problem is that I'm missing the 2 lines as earlier mentioned, so whenever I log on after the SSL has been enabled, all my pictures come out as broken images :huh: URL is http://fansdome.com if that helps!

tommy916 Posted April 9, 2004 Share Posted April 9, 2004 Do I need to copy all files including Admin folder to shared SSL site? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
