Installation page after installing SSL

[designitwales]

Hello All

I'm new to Zen cart and this is my first post. The shop is currently being constructed and all has gone fairly well up until now. Not finished by any means but getting there.

I'm having difficulty implementing the SSL. I have a shared SSL certificate through my host but when I follow the instructions, I receive the Zen Cart installation page when I click Checkout in the shop.

Zencart Version: 1.3.8 (Latest)
Address: www.stownage.co.uk
SSL Address: https://vault1.secured-url.com/stownage
Windows server, with Windows SSL

My configure.php looks like this:

// 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.stownage.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://vault1.secured-url.com/stownage/htdocs');

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

Any thoughts? I've been at this a while and am really struggling.

many thanks in advance

Not sure if you've seen this FAQ?

But what happens if you remove the "htdocs" from your previous define statement as follows:

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://vault1.secured-url.com/stownage');

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, that FAQ is the guide I followed to get it setup.

If I remove htdocs from the line, I get 'page cannot be found'

I assume this is because it's 2 different domains and Zen cart is only set up on one of them. But I can't see how to set up the other without wiping my database which is not an option as there are already over 300 products.

Are you hosted with streamline? It seems they may need some special configurations for their shared SSL to work with Zen Cart. You may want to contact their support to see what else is required for your settings to work.

Yes I am. They seem pretty good for my general sites but for Zen Cart It's not working out. I'm going to transfer to terranetwork today.

Thanks for the help, hopefully this will make things easier. I'll keep you updated

We'll be happy to see you!

Streamline

are resellers of Fasthosts.

vault1.secured-url.com

...is a Fasthosts Shared SSL address and their Shared SSL is on an entirely different server to the one your site is hosted on.

Thank you, oh

Well all is transferred to Terranetwork now and the problem is resolved. Unfortunately streamline would not refund the £57.50 for the SSL even though it's clearly not suitable for this purpose.

I'd advise keeping away from Streamline for Zen Cart, and would like to extend my thanks to Terranetwork for making the change over painless and straight forward.

Many thanks for the help
