Installing SSL certificate, please help!

[Amy Chomas]

Ok, so these are the directions I was linked to to add the SSL certificate to my site. It is up and running, it is working, I just need to add it, but I don't quite understand how?

Enable SSL support in Zen Cart

Once you've had your hosting company install your SSL certificate, and you have confirmed that going to "https://your_site.com" actually works without an error, you can turn on SSL support in Zen Cart using the following information:

Different servers may have slightly different setups and the configuration also depends on whether you have your own certificate or are using a shared certificate. We will give some examples of the most common combinations. You will need to make changes in both the includes/ configure.php and admin/ includes/ configure.php. You may have to load the whole catalog into an HTTPS directory also. Please consult your host for the URL you will need.

Your Own Certificate
Change includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php to:


// Define the webserver and path parameters
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

So how do I do that last part? Changing and configuring, in easy terms to understand please, I'm still new at this!
Is this all in the FTP program again? Cause I found the includes/configure.php but I have no idea how to change it?

Thanks, Amy

You transfer/FTP the file to your PC, open it in a plain text code editor and change the line from false to true - - do not change the containing set of single quotes - - just what is in between them

Save and transfer/FTP back to your server

Might have to rename the one on the server first to something like
configure.sav

Can you recommend a program to open and change it in? I don't have one. Thanks!
