Enabling SSL Issues Yes I followed the Tutorial

[DadsAttic]

I am having issues with enabling SSL with Zen. I started a different post but there is another person on this thread that is having the same identical problem.

I followed the tutorial to a "T" here are my lines of code pasted from both files that I changed. Can't even log into store admin now;

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', 'https://cesavings.com');

  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cesavings.com');

  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://cesavings.com');

  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://cesavings.com');



  // secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?

  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://cesavings.com');

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cesavings.com');



// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

Set file permissions on the server to 644 (rw-r--r--) uploaded both changed them back to 444 (r--r--r--).

Can't get to admin page gives me the following error;

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/c/e/s/cesavings/html/store/admin/includes/configure.php:183) in /home/content/c/e/s/cesavings/html/store/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 108

In the store when you click add an item to the cart it goes to a blank white page with the session id appended to the URL.

I am using Dreamweaver to edit the PHP file. I have used both Dreamweaver and FileZilla to download and upload files to the server. I have a Premium Hosting plan with GoDaddy. You can reach my site via http://cesavings.com and https://cesavings.com. This is my second install of zen cart because of this problem.

I have emptied my cache, tried on three different computers and both Firefox and IE.

Thank you in advance for any help.

OMG!

I figured it out!!! I think I read some place that some of the most common errors for PHP beginners are extra spaces, lines etc.

Some how two extra lines got added after the final ?>, maybe it is something Dreamweaver does because I did not add them there. Both files had those two extra lines at the end. Once I deleted the extra lines voila! I am so used to the HTML mentality that I didn't think to check for "extra" anything.

Thanks!

Dreamweaver is notorious for doing that - I would suggest a plain text editor for making changes to the php files.

I second this. I just spent hours trying to figure out why this was happening. I ended up going into the orginial ZIP File and reworking dist-configure.php to match my settings, uploaded and everything is good.

I think I just got an ulcer from hours this trouble shooting

I learned an important lesson today:
DONT USE ANYTHING BUT NOTEPAD TO EDIT PHP!!!!!

Thanks for the update that you got this working ...

However, be aware that there are numerous TEXT editors available that can work with the code files, it is just important that you are using a valid TEXT editor and not a word processor or something that will add extra characters and other messies to the code ...

php is kinda fussy like that ...

[beyoyo2]

OMG... same thing! I removed the extra 2 lines at the end of both configure.php files... and MAGIC! It works!!!!! Maybe this should be part of the tutorial! >_<

If one were to go to the Tutorials/FAQs and enter a part of the error message such as:
headers already sent by

one would find references to these nasty little space(s) and blank line(s) that php hates when they appear after the closing php tag ?> at the end of the files listed in the error message ...

The error message looks nastier than it really is ...

I am sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place. I am fairly new to this and appreciate any help at all.

I am attempting to enable SSL on my site.

I first tried to access my page using the link my host gave me but whenever i do it brings me to the "Hello. Thank you for loading Zen Cart™." setup page.

it is porbably something simple i have missed. Any ideas?

[Kim]

Your URL?

The site is at:

http://www.acadianmaple.com

According to my host, host depot, the SSL enabled version should be at:

https://secure.hostdepot.com/01/373/

Thanks in advance.
