SSL not working

[bhpepper]

Hey all,

I am sure this is a quick and easy one -

Installed one ZC site -- had it up and running with shipping and payment and SSL. That store and one other demo store are still in my Public_HTML folder.

Recently, I installed a clean install of ZC 1.3.6 cuz the old site was not live and we were still tweaking. For the new site of course i enabled SSL and edited the configure.php files as instructed. BUT i get the following error when going to checkout:

Not Found
The requested URL /~vcr71https://www.universalcutlery.com/catalog/index.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

My only guess is that i need to call the host (we are using a shared SSL) and have them reset or something.

I am sure this is a small issue. If i need to provide code or any information, I can be very quick in getting it and dont mind doing so.

Please, what are your opinions on this.

Thanks in advance! - Bill

Check your includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php you have the wrong path in the HTTPS fields.

thanks for the reply!

you sure? >>>>>


/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://www.universalcutlery.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cs7.simplehost.com/~vcr71');

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

admin/includes/configure.php

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.universalcutlery.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://cs7.simplehost.com/~vcr71');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.universalcutlery.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://cs7.simplehost.com/~vcr71');

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

anyone else help on this.....please please?


the rest of the site seems to be working without any issue. Just the ssl is not functioning properly.

Post your whole file from the server without your username and password for:
/includes/configure.php

You have something not setup right ... and this is where I would start looking ...

Thank you! thank you!

As Kim indicated, you have an error in the configure.php that builds the URL for the SSL and this is causing the issues you are having:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://www.universalcutlery.com/catalog/'); 

Needs to read:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); 

[bhpepper]

Thank you Kim and Ajeh! -

I knew it was something small and simple ...... what i cannot figure is why that occured.

On this installation during setup i gave it all the SSL info. Last time i did an install i did the SSL post installation.......

Odd.....

THANK YOU!! for helping catch my oversight!

~Bill

[Ajeh]

You are most welcome ... thanks for letting us know that fixing your configure.php file corrected this issue on your secure pages that were producing incorrect URLs ...

NOTE: be sure to check your
/admin/includes/configure.php

and double check all your settings in there, too ...

[bhpepper]

yes -- as you pointed out i had the full address instead of just the /catalog/ directory. Correcting that instantly fixed the issue.

just for completeness......

I have looked at the admin/includes/configure.php (below) it seems to be in order ( but could you look anyways for me )

Now i am freaked out with all of the possibilities of what else i may be missing here in the configure.php and all the many other files......
