PayPal Website Payments Pro still asking for SSL...

[destroyed22]

zencart/admin/includes/configure.php(not actual admin name due to security reasons)

/**
 * WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE SSL PROTECTION FOR YOUR ENTIRE ADMIN:
 * To do that, make sure you use a "https:" URL for BOTH the HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER entries:
 */
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.theeroticshop.net');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.theeroticshop.net');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');

  // secure webserver for admin?  Valid choices are 'true' or 'false' (including quotes).
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

  // secure webserver for storefront?  Valid choices are 'true' or 'false' (including quotes).
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');

zencart/includes/configure.php

// 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.theeroticshop.net');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');

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

did I miss something??

Yes. Note the highlights from the admin configure.php file you quoted, below:

/**
* WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE SSL PROTECTION FOR YOUR ENTIRE ADMIN:
* To do that, make sure you use a "https:" URL for BOTH the HTTP_SERVER and HTTPS_SERVER entries:
*/
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');

Your non-admin configure.php file is fine.

This was driving me batty, too! And it was the https in the HTTP_SERVER setting that I had overlooked EVERY time.

Thank you so much for this thread and the patient answers.

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.theeroticshop.net');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.theeroticshop.net');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.theeroticshop.net');"

This used to work in the version 1.3 series.
It is a change in the 1.5 version that requires the 'HTTP_SERVER' to be 'https' for payment modules.

Same thing got me too. So I gues il just use a full ssl admin from now on. Perhaps the wiki page that the message links too could be slightly edited to inform paypal pro users that this is an essential step.

Wow, this is retarded i might say. I was staring at the code for 3 hours until I found that HELPFULL post.

Somebody seriously think admins are going to read comments? Come on. I would have to spend 10 year extra of my life if I would start reading comments on every code page I open.

I wish there were EXAMPLES in the code for HTTPS. that way anybody could quickly catch that HTTPS and HTTP servers both use httpS.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the answer. It saved me extra 10 hours I would spend on debugging the entire shopping cart. I already spent 5 hours yesterday figuring out why 2CO modules are not properly removed upon uninstall.

Hello I am using zencart ver151.1. I am having the same problem as the other folks . I tried the solution
easyjtm used, ran the fix_cache_key app it did find a difference and synced them. However Paypal Pro still shows ssl not enabled, which it is. Is there anyplace in the code or in the data base to manually trigger paypal pro to accept the current ssl. would rebooting the server help. any help you can offer would be much appreciated. Website is http://theelectricaldepot.com Please disregard this post! after carefully reading the post I found the problem needing to change both server entry's to https. sorry for the post!

You must not have updated the /your_renamed_admin_folder/includes/configure.php to change the HTTP_SERVER define to a URL starting with https://
Remember, if the file on the server has been marked read-only, any changes you attempt to save to it will not save.

I don't know if this is asked anywhere but I am also not able to install paypal payments pro. I have a shared ssl that came with my hosting package and the module says that I need to set up ssl before installing. I have the files correct and accessing my admin area through the new secure link. The other issue is every time I click on something in my admin area I have to log back in, regardless of time. If this is answered somewhere please direct me to its location. Can you set up payments pro with a shared ssl?
