double slashes in URL ??

[papadopoulos]

Hi,

I edited the two config files for SSL usage. Now on all pages I am seeing two slashes before my Zen-Cart install directory in the URL, like this:

http://www.myowndomain.com//zen/index.php

Functionality seems to be fine. Any ideas what is causing that and should I worry about it? Below in bold are my edits to the configure.php files.

This is what I did in includes/configure.php:

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

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


This is what I did in admin/includes/configure.php:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.myowndomain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.myowndomain.com');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.myowndomain.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.myowndomain.com');

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


Thank you,
P

This is what I did in includes/configure.php:


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

apparently the trailing slashes in the domain name caused that. I removed the trailing slashes and all is good.

Thanks for the update on what changes you had to make to your configure.php files to fix the double slashes in the URLs ...

It is always a great help to others to see the solution as well as the problem ... even when you trip over the solution on your own ...

I did not change anything, but am also getting the double slashes.

I did a fresh install of zen 1.3.8 (used the auto-install function of my webhost which has always worked without a problem in the past). And now i get the strange double slash no matter what page I browse to.

home page then becomes: http://www.fake.com//
admin page is: http://www.fake.com//admin/login.php
etc.

I do not need to type in the double slash...it just appears on its own and never goes away.

Could it be the double slashes in this line in includes/config.php?

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '//');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '//');

Yes, those double slashes will be the problem.

[thomasw98]

Yes, those double slashes will be the problem.

OK, thanks for the confirm. I changed those two lines to:

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

Now the problem has disappeared. Mystery solved. Thanks!

How did those double slashes get in there? Is this something that my webhost's auto-install creates? Or is it a mis-type in the zen 1.3.8 original config file?

I would guess it must be my webhost's problem since it does not seem like anyone else here has mentioned it (except for the guy who started this thread, but his problem was different).

[thomasw98]

For the benefit of others, I also had to make the same changes in the admin/includes/configure.php file to prevent these double slashes from appearing in the admin pages.

[thomasw98]

Just double checked the zencart 1.3.8a original files from the zencart download, and those files (dist-config.php and dist-configure.php) only have single slashes instead of the incorrect double slashes. So the problem was created by bluehost's auto-install of zencart.
