How to add the SSL code?

[SherriCa]

Hello,

I am really to new to this platform and I have gone over many of the help files. But, I am not able to figure out how to add my SSL code in Zen Cart? I have the code from SiteLock.

These are the instructions that I found below:

3. 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://www.your_site.com" actually works without an error, you can turn on SSL support in Zen Cart using the following information:
You will need to make changes in both the /includes/configure.php and /your_renamed_admin/includes/configure.php.
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');

---------------------------------

I have not been able to locate the areas in bold? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you kindly,
Sherri

You'll need to use your FTP program to find those files on your server and edit them.

Apologies in advance but, What is the FTP program?

[stevesh]

An FTP (File Transfer Protocol) program allows you to move files back and forth between your server where you have Zencart installed and your local computer. Many use a program called Filezilla, and I use a Firefox plugin called FireFTP. You'll need an FTP program and a good text editor to do much with Zencart.

I purchased a pre-loaded store. This must be why I am having such a hard time with the help files. Thank you.
I think I will try to reach out to the place I purchased from.
