SSL configuration

[immortalitea]

I recently upgraded to the current version of Zencart (1.3.8). I had SSL working fine before the upgrade.

After the upgrade I changed define statements in the includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php files in order to implement SSL. I think the only change I'm making is to change

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

to

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

But now when I try to log-in as a a customer the browser looks for the URL
"https://www.mystore.comhttps://index.php?main_page=login"

Obviously, no such server exists. It looks like an extra "https://" is getting stuck in between the .com and index.php.

SSL is working fine at my site and everything works fine if I just use the non-secure configure.php files.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Check both configure files - you may have botched up some of the trailing slashes settings:-

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourwebsite.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourwebsite.com');

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

// NOTE: be sure to leave the trailing '/' at the end of these lines if you make changes!
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
  // these paths are relative to top of your webspace ... (ie: under the public_html or httpdocs folder)
  define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

You most likely have a trailing slash after these
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourwebsite.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourwebsite.com');
so they look like this

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourwebsite.com/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourwebsite.com/');

Thanks to both people who responded. You got me pointed in the right direction. For the benefit of people who might have a similar problem the resolution was this;

When the cart opens a new page (or image or whatever) it uses the configure.php files to create the url by combining your HTTPS Server definition (i.e. HTTPS_SERVER as defined in line 17) with your catalog directory definition (i.e. DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG as defined in line 26). My includes/configure.php file was as follows;

Line 17 - define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.mywebsite.com');

and

Line 26 - define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://');

I don't know why line 26 was like this. I'm pretty sure I never touched it before so I'm guessing that is the default.

so when you concatenate the two definitions you get;

https://www.mywebsite.comhttps://

This is obviously an invalid url.

I changed line 26 to;

define('HTTPS_SERVER', '/mycatalogdirectory/');

and everything worked fine.

My thanks also to whomever commented the code in the admin/includes/configure.php file. The comments were really helpful to a non-programmer like me in figuring out what was happening.

Thanks for the help. I figured it out.
