SSL Problem

[jordana]

One more thing, this line

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://beggarsbones.com'); 

shouldn't have the 's' in https:// it should just be http://

WHEW!

ok, update. somehow my permissions got changed halfway through working on these, broke down and called godaddy which offered no help (and, btw, the tech said he there was no 'store' directory period, flashback to oscommerce nightmare...) so i got it working. took out the extra https, made everying w/o www and it works, BUT

but now this is how things run:

-add item to cart, go to cart: ssl on

-update qty in cart: message - 'although this page is encrypted, info is sent over an unecrypted connection and could easily be read, blah, continue?'

-continue: refreshes cart, no ssl

-continue checkout, login/new customer: ssl, and ssl all thru completion

I think I have an SSL problem as well. I can't log into my admin. I just installed zen cart for the first time, so maybe I messed something up..

Basically, when I go to admin: https://www.dirtylovesclean.com/zencart/admin/login.php
It won't load, so I take the s out
http://www.dirtylovesclean.com/zencart/admin/login.php
And I get it to work, but when I enter my name/password, it goes back to this:
https://www.dirtylovesclean.com/zencart/admin/login.php
and says:

Sorry, Forbidden.
You don't have permission to access this URL on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I installed a ssl folder on my server. Yahoo says to put files in here if you want them secure, but I have a feeling that would mess up things. I'm new to this stuff..

Also,

1. Some how installing zencart made my index.htm not automatically load when you go to www.dirtylovesclean.com ?

2. Can I change the folder name zencart to something else or would I then have to reinstall and change a bunch of other things?

you don't want to change the folder name. otherwise your cart will have broken links.. I learnt that the hard way. You can easily re-install and have it working perfect.
For the index.htm, try using index.html instead. I have ran into something similar a while back where browsers don't pick htm but they pick html. It's not hard at all.


Now I do have a question for the Gurus. I have and ssl cert installed and seems to be working fine except for the part that it says it's signed by an unknown authority. That's however not my biggest problem.
When i create categories and sub categories, they end up being http:// instead of https://. I don't know why this is happening. I have enabled ssl in both admin and store config files as it says on here. https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14 Now I'm a little lost. so that search engines don't get this it's (oasis garages .com/ shop). All one word.
Anyone knows what's happening here?

Hello All,

Running into an issue that is driving me crazy!!!
My SSL is up and running.
My Site is
http://www.doggonecaskets.com
or
https://www.doggonecaskets.com

The SSL works, however when i click log-in or goto check-out it stays http: it will not redirect to a secure page (https:) i have hunted through all the code. everything looks alright.

can anyone shed some light on what my problem might be.

any help would be great.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply,
but i have edited both includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php

Admin/includes/configure.php:

 define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://doggonecaskets.com');
 define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://doggonecaskets.com');
 define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://doggonecaskets.com');
 define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://doggonecaskets.com');

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

includes/configure.php

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://doggonecaskets.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://doggonecaskets.com');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://doggonecaskets.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://doggonecaskets.com');

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

any other suggestions?

Oops, My Bad.
Forgot to change the configure.php file permissions.
Thanks for your help

1. Remember that the admin and non-admin files DO contain DIFFERENT content, so should NOT be identical. You CANNOT just copy one file to the other, or vice-versa.
Not saying you did, but what you posted above makes it look like you might be getting close to that.

2. When you make changes to the files, you need to upload them. And, since the configure.php files are read-only on the server, if you don't make them writable first, then your changes won't be saved. Thus, your site will behave according to the configurations that *are* saved, ie: the enable_ssl settings being false.

Make certian that the server version is the edited version

Delete the one on the server first

Then FTP your edited copy
