SSL on separate subdomain?

[mainestratman]

I've been reading through the forums for the past couple days trying to find this answer myself (if it exists), but haven't found it, so I apologize if I just overlooked the answer.

I have a subdomain running my Zencart at http://store.domain.com. I have an SSL cert installed at https://secure.domain.com.

How can I use the SSL cert at the secure.domain.com subdomain for the checkout procedure for my store.domain.com?

Thanks,

Jon

I am still looking. Do you have a link to the thread with the answer?

I have the same situation, SSL is installed for https://secure.domain.com and non SSL is http://store.domain.com and they are in different folders on the same host.

SSL path: /public_html/secure
Non SSL path: /public_html/store

Your easiest solution will be to get your host to "link" them.
Zen Cart doesn't need to use separate folders to protect secure content.

If you leave it split into separate folders, you'll have to maintain 2 entire duplicate folder structures manually.

If you get your host to link them, your life will be much easier.

Please help someone with the ZenCart configuration, if possible.

I want to help some guy with the ZenCart, he has a ZenCart installed in "domain.com" but he has a Dedicated SSL certificate for "secure.domain.com" only. He has 2 ZenCart apps, in domain.com and subdomain secure.domain.com installed, they are pointed to the same database.

domain.com - has path - /home/user/public_html/
secure.domain.com - has path - /home/user/public_html/secure

The problem is that session is being lost at checkout after redirection to https://secure.domain.com

I agree with the DrByte's answer in this topic, but the goal is to restore functionality with the 2 ZenCarts pointed to the same database so when customer at domain.com checkout is redirected to https://secure.domain.com without session loss.

Sessions:

Sessions store is database and I think it is ok. It would be much appreciated if someone can advise. Thank you in advance!

Hi,

I too am having a similar issue. I have a main domain at www.marketsofmarion.com
(running no zen store) but I am running a zen cart store at one of the sub domains www.cleanusedgolfballs.com and would like to add more subdomains zen stores too.

Do you feel that other domains that redirect with masking to my sub domain store will effect this? I would like my redirected masked domains like to use www.momscleangreen.com

It seems that I get a cookie usage page error on my laptop but not on my other pcs when I click login.
I did set Force Cookies to True in the admin configuration sessions area.
Why is this error still appearing? Why my laptop and not other devieces.

Your help is appreciated.
