SSL Certificates

[Guest]

Hello,

 

I was just wondering if anyone here could tell me how hard it is and is it much work to set up an SSL Certificate for my osCommerce online shop.

 

Thankyou very much,

it is not hard at all. You just change the configure.php files to enable SSH and set your https:// for the https server and you should be all set.

I need help.

 

Can your SSL certificate be installed in the /catalog folder without having to create a seperate 'secure' directory.

 

So, for instance, if my catalog is located at:

 

http://www.yahoo.com/catalog/

 

Can I configure the SSL for the directory above (/catalog) and then change config.php with the following?

 

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yahoo.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', '/catalog/'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
 define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yahoo.com');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', '');
 define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
 define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

 

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

The SSL certificate has to be installed into the web server software by the host. It's not just a file you copy somewhere. Contact your web host to see how it's done - if it's even possible (many shared hosting services don't support client certificates.)
