SSL setup

Ok, so I just got my SSL certificate and I went through the FAQ for setting it up. But for some reason when I click on a product it takes me outside the Secured area. Have a look here and click on any product: https://www.blackflameclothing.com/catalog

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Re: SSL setup

You only get Secure pages when you need them - The whole store is not supposed to run SSL.

Re: SSL setup

Ok so setup the ssl on the includes/configure.php:

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

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

and the password and login are in there as well

Plus I setup admin/includes/configure.php:

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

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

with the same login and password, but now I can't login!!!!!

Re: SSL setup

Secure Connection Failed

blackflameclothing.com uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is not trusted because the issuer certificate is unknown.

(Error code: sec_error_unknown_issuer)

* This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server.

* If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later.

Re: SSL setup

hmmmm that is weird. The owner bought the SSL from Register.com and then we had it installed on networksolutions.com (the hosting company)? Is it possible that they did not install it correctly?

Also all long should I wait to try again?

I believe I already aconnected to it once before!

Thanks Kim!

Re: SSL setup

Also when I go to the site: https://www.blackflameclothing.com/catalog

It asks me if I want to go over to a secure connection?

Re: SSL setup

Register.com CA Authority - is not one present in any of the browsers I use??? Other than that things look correct.
You should not be attempting to enter (spaces mine)
https ://www.blackflameclothing.com/catalog
Instead enter this and select the login link and it auto switches - but does warn about register.com CA Authority
http ://www.blackflameclothing.com/catalog

Have you viewed this in IE??
Your .png's are creating issues and a known problem with IE...
Convert them to .jpg's

Re: SSL setup

Thanks for the info Kobra!

So the certificate and the hosting are correct. I am just doing something wrong is what it sounds like?

Also I will have to look into the PNG issue. I am using IE, Safari, and Firefox and haven't seen any issues with the images.

Thanks
Rick

Re: SSL setup

Hi Merlinpa, ok I did a quick search like you said but I seem to be in a different situation than what I read in the search results. When I looked up register.com I only heard about the complaints with there shared certificates, where as this one is a dedicated ssl that the owner bought.

And when I looked up Network Solutions I read mostly that there ssl sucks (so I read).

Us on the other an bought an SSL through register.com and had it installed on Network solutions.

Is this the problem??

Re: SSL setup

Well I guess for now seeing as how we can't change hosting companies or certificates I will just turn off the ssl when I have to login in to the admin section.

That should work ok, shouldn't it?
