SSL Not Working!! Please help.

[prof752]

Hello There!

Well I hope I'm posting in the right place.... I'm new here.
Anyway, I have installed Zen Cart (actually my hosting provider offers it and installed it on the server for me).

I bought a SSL certificate and it says it's up and running. My web site is http://www.thailandcrafts.net and the store is at http://www.thailandcrafts.net/zencart
If I manually type in HTTPS://..... it works.

But when it goes to the login page, or the checkout page, it reverts back to HTTP://....

I have changed both the "configure.php" files in "ZENCART/INCLUDES" and in "ZENCART/ADMIN/INCLUDES" as per the help files, but it still does not work.

Can anyone help?

Thanks!
Mike

Hello There

Hmm I'm hope I'm not posting this twice... I think something happened the first time.

This is my first time here, and my first experience with Zen Cart.

My hosting provider offers Zen Cart and installed it for me.
I started adding products and pictures... no problem

I bought a SSL certificate today, and it went active. I changed the "configure.php" files to reflect the change, so that when customers go to Login or Checkout, then it would be a secure connection.

But it does not work. It says "HTTP://......"

My home page is http://www.thailandcrafts.net

My store is at http://www.thailandcrafts.net/zencart

If I manually type "HTTPS://....." it DOES work.
But when you click on the links...like "LOGIN" or "CHECKOUT", it reverts back to HTTP://.....

Can anyone help? or is this a bug?

I'm using the latest version, I think, it says
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8

Thanks
Mike

Here is my ZENCART\INCLUDES\configure.php info:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.thailandcrafts.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.thailandcrafts.net');

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

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
// these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/zencart/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');


Here is my ZENCART\ADMIN\INCLUDES\configure.php

* If you desire your *entire* admin to be SSL-protected, make sure you use a "https:" URL for all 4 of the following:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.thailandcrafts.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.thailandcrafts.net');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.thailandcrafts.net');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.thailandcrafts.net');

// secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

Here is my ZENCART\INCLUDES\configure.php info:

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.yourdomain.com
// HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.yourdomain.com
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.thailandcrafts.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.thailandcrafts.net');

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

You must be looking at a different configure.php than the one your zen cart installation is using. Your site is using thailandcrafts.net as the domain name (without the www) so it must be picking that up from a different configure.php than the one you are looking at. Double check that you have uploaded the changed file to your server correctly.

I THINK I finally got it working. For some reason, i was editing the configure.php files in Dreamweaver and uploading them to my server, but the changes weren't taking -- I assume due to CHMOD restrictions. Because when I viewed the file on the server, the ENABLE_SSL was still set to "false" even though I had changed that to "true".
I tried changing those CHMOD settings and editing the file directly on the server and then changing the CHMOD back again.
I think that did the trick. Now when I go to "Checkout", it switches to HTTPS.

Thanks,
Mike
