SSL Problems & Question

[Rick5150]

My SSL is fine and works elsewhere.

Here is the site store.

http://www.filmjackets.com/ecommerce/

My ZenCart was just installed (v1.3.9h) and is in the very early stages and I want to get the payment information working. I have tested the PayPal link and it works fine since it takes you to a secure site anyways. I am hesitant about testing my credit card info since I am not seeing the https: in the address bar.

I have made these changes:

/includes/configure.php

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

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

The instructions say that to change the admin/includes/configure.php but my install does not have this directory, it only has zc_admin/includes/configure.php which I assume it the right file. It is set as this:

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

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

I have cleared all caches.

So far I love ZenCart as it is easier and more intuitive than Joomla!Virtuemart, magento, shopsite, etc. But none of this will matter if the site is not secure.

Thank you in advance for any help.

Your store is installed in the subdirectory http://www.filmjackets.com/ecommerce/

Check your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files for correctly applied changes.

This thread may help as well

Thanks Frank18,

Does that mean that I should simply add the /ecommerce/ to the links? I tried that with no success as well...

I thought I would not need this since it looked as if the catalog was defined later in the congigure.php

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/ecommerce/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/ecommerce/');

Just a shot in the dark, but what if you change this:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/ecommerce/');

and get rid of the leading slash:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'ecommerce/');

Any chance that makes a difference?

Thanks Ed,

I had no luck with that either. I really appreciate the ideas though. I think I will really like ZenCart as it seems so intuitive for me, but no point having a store that is not secure.

You need to follow the instructions in the link I gave you step by step - read it carefully. Make sure you replace every instance of zencart with ecommerce

Replace every instance of MY_ADMIN_NAME with the name you have given your admin folder.

There are thousands of ZC stores working with a secured login / checkout area so there is no reason why yours should not be secure.

That was exactly my point. I appreciate your help, but none of what was mentioned in that link was the issue for my particular situation.

All of the files were automatically set during the installation using Bluehost. There were no instances of ZenCart that had to be changed nor were there any instances of MY_ADMIN_NAME that needed to be changed. I already had an SSL certificate.

What happened in my case was that the permissions for the admin/configure.php file on the host server was marked as 444 so when I went to overwrite the file with the modified file using Mozilla, it would not happen. I did not realize that there were failed transfers in the bottom tab as I rarely use Mozilla. I changed the permissions from 444 to 644 and it went through perfectly.

The only thing that needed to be changed in both of these files was to change:

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false')
to
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true')

Maybe this will help someone else though. Again, thank you for your help and especially for your quick responses. Part of what made me choose ZenCart was the forum and you have shown be that the hype is true.

ShopSite, VirtueMart and Magento have help forums, but there are so many people who were having similar problems to what I was having that have remained unanswered for many months. Of course, this is not acceptable for any business.

Good to hear you got it fixed

Happy New Year and thanks for the kind words - we are trying to help where we can ...

Sounds like I am chastising myself, but this is a "schoolboy error" (I am guilty of it myself - forgetting to give write permission back to a file before I call it up for editing...)

[hovsepations]

i had the same problem, where i changed everything including the permission of the configure.php file to 666 and edited the file and then saved it and changed it back to 444, but my problem still exists, my login page doesn't go to https://

need help badly.

can anyone help?
