Another SSL thread...

[Crooked_Halo]

I have done the normal newbie thing and bought an SSL as crookedhalo.com.au instead of www.crookedhalo.com.au.

I have changed my configure file in admin/includes to read:

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://crookedhalo.com.au');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://crookedhalo.com.au');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://crookedhalo.com.au');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://crookedhalo.com.au');

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

Is that right?? and I tried to locate my configure file in includes and the only one I have in there is a dist-configure. Is that the right one to change? I am not even sure which bit to change in there as none of it looks the same as the thread in the FAQ titled "How do I enable SSL after I have installed Zen Cart?" What have I fudged up??

If I type https://crookedhalo.com.au it all looks wrong! What do I do to fix all this oh wise Zen masters

You must have a /includes/configure.php file or Zen Cart would not load

Find it and alter as you posted

Oh I do, I beg your pardon. It was in my cpanel, but not on the files on my computer for some reason.


I have changed this part to look like:

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

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

And it seems to be working.

Now for my next question, I noticed in one post about a similar kind of problem that they had they were told to write a .htaccess redirect or something - do I need to do that? If so, how and where do I put it please?

Oh darn.. in IE7 it comes up with a popup - This site contains both secure and nonsecure items. It seems to be the Lingerie Top 100 banner that I have down in the footer. Do I have to delete this to be able to use https:// in IE7??

[Crooked_Halo]

I have taken away the Top 100 lingerie store link, and it has eliminated the "nonsecure item" popup, but the lock doesn't show in IE7. Can anyone help?

[stevesh]

The lock shows for me in IE7.

I'm not seeing the secure/non-secure box unless I enter https://crookedhalo.com.au/ but you don't want the main page secured anyway.

Your site seems to be secured properly.

[Crooked_Halo]

Ahhhh! It is there in the top right hand side. I was looking down the bottom right for the lock

Thanks for taking the time to look!!
