SSL issues

[dante2010]

Hi,

When you are using SSL with the cart, what files need to be copied into the secure folder on the server? I uploaded the entire zencart dir to my secure dir, but when I click the goto checkout button it says it's looking for (and can't find)

The requested URL /mysite/store2/zc_install/index.php was not found on this server.

The link on the checkout button is actually:

https://secure2secure.com/mysite/sto...ckout_shipping

EDITED: Never, ever post the zen_id or zenAdminID (session id) in a forum, email, newsgroup, newsletter, advertisement, etc. etc. etc. or you will be doomed ...

Hi Dante, you were correct in adding ALL the files to the secure server
you will need to modify the includes/configure.php and the
admin/includes/configure.php on the secure server,

in the very last line you will see a line that ends in /cache

somewhere in this line you will see something like httpdocs
you will need to change this part to the name of the secure folder.

[dante2010]

I did that.

It still wants to goto the same URL tho.

https://secure2secure.com/ian/store2...tall/index.php

If you go there you'll see the error I am receiving.

My config files are setup as:

includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');

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

admin/includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');

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

On secure side - includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');

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

.

.
 define('SQL_CACHE_METHOD', 'none'); 
  define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/secure2/ian/public_html/factoryshoe/store2/cache'); 

admin/includes/configure.php

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://factoryshoe.ianarmstrong.com');
   define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure2secure.com/ian');

You can also check with your hosting provider to see if your domain can be setup to share the same folder for http and https. Simplifies things tremendously, if it is availab.e

[dante2010]

I don't think I'll be able to do that. I have to use a shared cert and their setup is that I have to ftp info a totally diff server to access the secure side.

[Merlinpa1969]

Ok you changed those thats Kool,

now look at the VERY bottom of the config files

you will see a list that looks like this
/your/server/path/here/to/cache

you need to make the path changes for the Secure server, your host should be able to give you these absolute paths,

If you dont want to go through the headache of having to make ALL changes to any files and upgrads/ insert moduels and all 2x you might want to take a look at the certified hosts,

that setup is definitly NOT e commerce SSL friendly

[dante2010]

Ok I've changed them to:

define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/home/secure2/public_html/ian/store2/cache');

.. which is the absolute path to my store files on the secure server.

Still getting the same error tho.

[Merlinpa1969]

there are several of these in each config file
You need to modify the ones in the secure folder

[dante2010]

There are several places in each config file that you have to change the "cache" path? I only see one line in each config file that relates to the cache directory... Am I misunderstanding what you mean?

I have changed the ones on the secure server.

[Merlinpa1969]

there are other lines that look like that,
they are all server paths,
they wont all have cache at the end.
lol
this is the trouble with this kind of setup, it is confusing and a pain in the ......... to maintain
