Ssl

[southcarlsbad]

Hi,

My host company tells me that SSL is already been installed. Here is an example given by them to me . "To view a secure order form called "order.html", the order.html file is uploaded to the bobscars.com "secure" directory. To use a secure CGI called "process.cgi" to process the order form, the process.cgi file is uploaded to the bobscars.com secure-cgi-bin directory. Within the "order.html" page, the CGI is called from the form tag:
<form action="https://www.securewebexchange.com/bobscars.com/cgi-bin/process.cgi" method="post" >"

I found the "secure" directory and "secure-cgi-bin" directory, but what file should i uploaded in these directory? Please help....

thanks

Since you are using shared SSL without any symlinks, you would place an exact copy of zen-cart in the secure directory and edit the two configure.php files to be correct (includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php)

hi,

2 Questions.

1. Make a copy of zen cart and move to SECURE directory -- can I make a copy of certain files only? Zen cart is pretty huge..

2. Than you mention editing the 2 configure files? What exactly the changes I need to make?

Thanks for the help...

1. Yes you would need to copy the whole setup! Otherwise you could ask your host to mirrow (symlink) your files from the nonsecure site to be also the secure site. This would save you much time&hassle of keeping 2 identical copies running (e.g. keeing the image folder identical!)

2. In those files you would need to adjust the file path to the secure setup. The HTTPS server should be in both configure (secure/nonsecure) identical.

Look for:

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx');
define('DIR_FS_SQL_CACHE', '/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxy/cache'); 

and

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxxy/admin); 

in the admin!

And remember to set those to true:

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false'); 

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');
