How do I get my checkout to use HTTPS by default

[anandbir]

Hi,

I have Virtualmart Gateway on my Zencart installation enabled.

The guys at VirtualMart are asking for https:// url as default for gateway processing. I have SSL installed and enabled on the dmoain with dedicated IP. If I type https://domainname.com it works but if I dont type https:// it goes to http:// by default and tries to get the credit card information without using https://

Any help in this matter is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi @anandbir and welcome to the Zen Cart forum. Here's a tutorial about using SSL and Zen Cart.

Thanks for the link, but I have already setup this info under configration file...

The page still goes to – http://domain-name.com/index.php?mai...eckout_payment instead https://

[swguy]

From the file includes/configure.php, please post the lines that set HTTPS_SERVER and ENABLE_SSL.

[anandbir]

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://partybonanza.ca');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://partybonanza.ca');

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

OK. This could be a bug in your template. Try switching back to the default template, put an item in your cart and see if the link to checkout is https.

If it's not the template, then who's your hosting company? Looks like maybe they don't know how to configure SSL properly.
Netsol is very bad for that.

Thanks for all your help, it was a small bug in the template which has been fixed now.

Can someone tell me what the small bug was in the their template? I am have the same issue with my shopping cart and I am wondering if the bug is a common fix that I can try and find.

Thanks

Dunno exactly, but the way I'd find out is by using a text-comparison tool like WinMerge to quickly compare the files in the template against the files in the original Zen Cart template_default. Then fix whatever is busted.
