How do I enable SSL?

[swelter83]

Hello,

I was wondering how to make the "security" icon show up for my cart.
I have the certificate ready for my site and the cart is installed in the right
directory for it.

My question is this:
Do I change the value in the Includes>Configure.php file
from [COLOR="rgb(255, 140, 0)"]'false'[/COLOR] to 'true' where is says to "ENABLE SSL FOR SHOPPING CART" (something like that those aren't the exact words)?

there is also another line of coding in Admin>Includes>Configure.php
as well. Do i need to change those values from 'false' to 'true'?

Any confirmation on this or help will be appreciate as always,
thanks!

To enable SSL in your cart after it's been enabled on your domain, you just update those ENABLE_SSL parameters in your configure.php files to 'true'

Here's the FAQ on the process: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14

Thanks Dr. Byte!

Remember that the HTTPS_SERVER setting in your configure.php file must match the domain name to which you registered your SSL certificate, otherwise you'll get security warning errors saying that the host name doesn't match the certificate.

Zen Cart will switch back and forth between SSL modes as necessary, protecting the pages where sensitive information is typically displayed/collected.

I enabled it and nothing happens. It does not forward the page to "https" rather it stays on the "http" page. Also when I manually put in "https" in the address bar, the site loads with a padlock but there is a slash on the padlock.

Any help would be appreciated.
