Enabling SSL after installation

[friends1976]

I am trying to enable SSL after I have installed and set up zen-cart. I have changed the configure.php files like this article tells me, too.

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14

However, when I test the site, I get the following error:

gacancerfoundation.org uses an invalid security certificate.

The certificate is only valid for www.gacancerfoundation.org

(Error code: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)

I don't know much about server issues...can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thank you so much,
Ashley

You have your files in the tutorial you referenced as (space mine)

http: //gacancerfoundation.org/store/

and you need to edit them to read

http: //www.gacancerfoundation.org/store/

All instances

Ok, I did that but now when I log in as a user or as the admin, I go in circles....meaning, that it never logs me in. ???? I saved a back up of my original config file so I can go back to that if I need to.

This is what my admin config looks like now.

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.gacancerfoundation.org');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.gacancerfoundation.org');
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.gacancerfoundation.org');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.gacancerfoundation.org');

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

// 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_ADMIN', '/store/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/store/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/store/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_IMAGES', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_TEMPLATE', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/templates/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');

define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');

define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
//the following path is a COMPLETE path to your Zen Cart files. eg: /var/www/vhost/accountname/public_html/store/
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/gcfound/public_html/store/admin/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/gcfound/public_html/store/');

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_LANGUAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/languages/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'images/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG_MODULES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'includes/modules/');

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');
define('DIR_FS_EMAIL_TEMPLATES', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'email/');

This is what my admin config looks like now

And it appears to be functioning - correct?

[friends1976]

No, whenever you try to log on, it doesn't. It acts like it accepts the password and then doesn't. I can't seem to get into the admin at all.

[friends1976]

Try logging on as a user to see what I mean

your admin config file...error
i.e.

define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');

should be

define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');

[friends1976]

It says true now and still the same problems. ?????

It actually said true before.
