Securing zencart help please

[thomasjones2002]

Where do I turn SSL on and what type of cert do I need to secure my site my host offers Certificate Signing Requests (CSR) and Certificates (CRT) which one should I use. Not for sure if I posted this in the right part of the forum but any help please thank you

Firstly, you can buy ssl anywhere, you can have your host install it for you.

To turn it on you must edit the config files located at

includes/configure.php
edit this line

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

make false to true

admin/includes/configure.php
edit this line

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

make false to true

Or you can follow https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=15
