SSL Setup Problem

[matthewrossser]

Hi All,

I am currently trying to activate the SSL finction.

/includes/configure.php

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

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

I have this changed then check the file again from the server as it is not working & somehow it has RESET back to "false"


/admin/includes/configure.php

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

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

Cannot seem to activat the https function.

Is there somewhere else that I need to set to stop this strange REWRITE function going on ?


Cheers
Matt

Hi There,

if the file is reverting back to false then it isn't saving correctly.

You may need to change permissions on the file to be able to write to that file.

Right click on it via FTP and edit permissions to be writable.

Then try again.

if you cant change the permissions then the server admin will need to change the permissions for you. Make a request to the webhost... let him know and he can fix that part so you can then change permissions yourself.

Lastly, you must have a SSL with dedicated IP installed on your site. If just installed needs up to 24 hours to be activated and working.

Lastly why do you now have www in your addressing?

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://pgqld.com.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://pgqld.com.au');

should be

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.pgqld.com.au');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.pgqld.com.au');

By what method are you making changes? If the config files do not have 644 permissions you will not be able to change anything; nor can upload a file to replace.
