    Default SSL Problem

    Hi I am hoping someone can help me with this and it's not a major overlook on my part.

    I have set up my first Ecommerce store for a client http://www.ewparts.co.uk/
    using Streamline.net as thwe hosting provider, I purchased the additional SSL certificate offered and was given this "https://ewparts.ssl-01.com/"

    I uploaded the entire site to the https site and now I just get the install option when I browse, I think the problem is with the configure,php files but I am at a loss as to what to change them to, I have tried several configurations to no avail.

    Here is what I am using now from the non https site

    INCLUDES\configure.php

    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk/');

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

    \ADMIN\INCLUDES\configure.php

    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');
    define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');
    define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');

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


    Can anyone point me in the right direction to this, I'm have been searching around for answers for a few hours now to no avail.
    I have disabled the install for the moment until I can get some idea of where I am going wrong.

    Thanks

    (read some of the worrying things said on this forum about streamline.net)...

    Looks like you're using a shared ssl cert.

    Try this:-

    Where you see the following... (in both configure files)

    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.ewparts.co.uk');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://ewparts.ssl-01.com');

    define('ENABLE_SSL', true');

    ???...

    If you purchased a SSL cert, why was it issued for that domain? (ewparts.ssl-01.com)

    Your CSR should have stated that the SSL Cert should be issued for: - "www.ewparts.co.uk"

    Did you purchase a dedicated IP from streamline?

    Did you just purchase the USAGE of a SSL facility? (a shared Cert?)

    More clarity is needed on what you have bought, and how you bought it.

    Thats what I was wondering to be honest, why the ewparts.ssl-01.com, the info I just got back was as follows

    "On our Linux SSL server, the full path is as follows:

    /home/default/DOMAIN.ssl-01.com/user/htdocs

    Important:The shared SSL is provided on a Windows server with ASP.NET and the certificate used is Thwarte.

    Unfortunately it is not possible to use your own SSL certificate on your hosting space from a third party provider.

    The ASP.NET framework is not supported on the Linux SSL server."

    No I did not purchase a static IP and I purchased a Linux SSL Secure Server for £25

    I have enabled the normal store setting to let you see my problem,

    A decent host will offer you a dedicated IP address, and allow you to purchase your cert from anyone you care to.

    A domain-dedicated SSL Cert needs a dedicated IP (static IP) as this is the key identifier for the stated domain.

    The CSR (Certificate Signing Request - detailing verifiable data about the domain and its owner) will state whether you want the Cert issued for:-

    1. ewparts.co.uk

    or

    2. www.ewparts.co.uk

    As your site is www.ewparts.co.uk, the certificate should be issued for (2) above.

    When your Cert provider (Thawte) issues the Cert, the host should install your certificate on the server, then advise you that it is installed.

    Thereafter you can make the adjustments to your configure.php files.

    (As I said, streamline.net don't have a good reputation for hosting - particularly when it comes to these detailed issues. The problem here is that they don't seem to have SSL on their linux box - cheapskates!).

    Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it but I think after reading through all the other posts with streamline I will be moving this domain to soemwhere else, I have heard the Camelot is a great supporter or Zencart but if anyone has other options i am open to suggestions.

    Once again thanks for the help.

    The owner of Camelot knows as much about ZC as anyone on this forum - and perhaps more!

    It will be a good choice.
