SSL Configuration

[ReginaStelling]

Where do you go in the Admin section to check whether SSL is turned on or off?

Is it one place, or muliple places...Can't seem to find it in the docs.

 

Thanks!!

In both catalog and admin/includes/configure.php

Hey Bear!

 

I check the catalog/includes/configure.php and had this:

 

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

 

So that's what turns it on? I guess I make it:

 

define('ENABLE_SSL', false); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

 

if I don't want to use it??

 

Is that it? Nothing in the ADMIN interface I have to check??

 

THANKS!

HI about the same issue , The_Bear, I use my hosts SSL shared certificate

http://www.beautyoflife.net/catalog/ is my store.

 

how should I manage the https ? i dont have https://www.beautyoflife.net

I can only use :

 

http://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof/catalog/

 

so https://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof/catalog/login.php will work

but https://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof/cat...2d521dbfc980752 will not work..

 

How should I configure it all out ? beats me :/

[Guest]

gigi yes that is right, you change it to false

 

eeleek in both catalog and admin/includes/configure.php you enable ssl to "true" and

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

 

Only the pages that needs ssl (login...create account... payment) will have ssl enable

The Bear, My website catalog is on http://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof/catalog/

 

my domain is http://www.beautyoflife.net

 

Im confused because I put the code you gave me in configure.php

and this is what came out

https://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof/catalog/

The Bear, please you may try to buy something and checkout with a money order.. (its still in testing mode) when user clicks continue it still goes to 4040 page .. and also tryo to login (the top) using user: [email protected]

pass: imbm1616

 

See what happens :/ I have no clue why ... just goes to 404 page .. but when you click "back" it shows the options as if you were logged in.

Your includes/configure.php should look like this

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.beautyoflife.net '); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://host151.ipowerweb.com/~beautyof'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

[eeleek]

The Bear, see what happens when you try to checkout after item inserted.

I appreciate your help alot !

I have the same problem... I think it comes from the fact that our servers don't have ssl protection installed on them... Mine has it installed but only for cgi scripts and this is php... I'm not sure... Is there a way around this problem ? Does the server have to support ssl in order to enable this feature ? Is it really risky to have a pay web site without an ssl security system ?
