No HTTPS folder, is this right?

[mesamexicanfoods]

Hello,

New to Zen Cart, and have been trying to find this info on the forums with no luck. I am working on securing my site, and I noticed that I don't have an HTTPS folder in my site when I look in file manager. I set up the configuration settings for using a shared SSL, and the site is going over to the shared SSL url during checkout.

Am I really secure? Since I couldn't find anyplace to upload my store to in a secure area, can I really be secure? Is it possible that I don't need to upload to a secure area? I haven't asked my host to do anything for me, so I know they haven't changed anything.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you,
Jacqueline

not all server setups have a secure folder,

cpanel serves all from 1 server and it is just as secure as hagging 2 seperate folders and its a LOT less headache

If I am following this correctly that would mean that on Cpanel sites the editing in the config files would not need to include lines with "https" ? Is this correct? We could just leave them as "http" and add the path?

no you will need to use the http and the https paths in the site name defines but you dont have to have 2 seperate sets of files

Since you are responding so quickly, if I post my config files, can you tell me how the heck I managed to lock myself out of the admin?
