"Go to checkout" button leads to a dead page

[Owen Fowler]

v1.3.8a
New installation

Hello from a needy newbie.

When I add a sample product, indicate I want to buy one, and then click "Go to checkout", I get the "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" page.

I have:
1) installed v1.3.8a
2) created a custom template
3) installed a module to accept quick book merchant services payments

I did not check the functionality of the "go to checkout" buttom before I installed the QBMS module.

Thanks!

Oh- in addition to what I wrote before, I should mention that I am using a shared hosting service (steadfast.net) and a shared ssl certificate. The checkout URL that is dead is:
"https://pelle.nozonenet.comhttps//wholesale.pelleactivewear.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping&zenid=eu1q1r1166phqs5jm9gs61mvq2[/url]"

Review the steps for changing your configure files.

I still have issues.

The changes you mention were not supposed to be necessary because at installation I chose SSL enabled.

However, I have decided not to use a shared certificate, so I got a cert for my page and a dedicated IP. This means the settings would be different anyway.

I did what the tutorial instructed, but the URL that is entered into the address bar when the "go to checkout" buttom is pressed is all wrong:

"https://wholesale.pelleactivewear.comhttps//wholesale.pelleactivewear.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=checkout_shipping"

You will note there are actually to URLs here smooshed together, and the second is missing a ":". So, if I manually enter the second after adding the ":", I get to checkout, but the styles and graphics are all missing!

Here are what I beleive are the relevant sections of my configure.php files:

include:
// 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://wholesale.pelleactivewear.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://wholesale.pelleactivewear.com');

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

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

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

After the ENABLE_SSL lines, there are some DIR_WS_XXXXX lines such as DIR_WS_CATALOG ... what did you do to those lines?

[Owen Fowler]

I left those alone from install. Here is admin:
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', 'https://wholesale.pelleactivewear.com/catalog/admin/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://wholesale.pelleactivewear.com/catalog/');

Here is includes:
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://wholesale.pelleactivewear.com/catalog/');

define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/');
define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/');
define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/');
define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/');
define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'languages/');
define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_WS_TEMPLATES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'templates/');

define('DIR_WS_PHPBB', '/');

[Owen Fowler]

Well, enough struggling with this. I did a fresh install since I had not gotten that far anyway and now it works right. Thanks for trying to help!

Best,
Owen

If you look at the newly-built configure.php files, you'll see that the working ones don't have a URL on the DIR_WS lines ... only a path.

Following the pattern prevents the errors.

I think I have a similar issue...I read a lot, but can't figure it out. Clicking on Go To Checkout has this double link/path-

https://alexandergifts.cahttps//www...._page=checkout

My admin/includes/configure is

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

  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true'); 

and includes/configure is

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.alexandergifts.ca');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://alexandergifts.ca');

  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true'); 

I just installed an SSL cert as per the tutorial and my host's instructions and that went fine...no error messages or anything, full padlock, etc. 1.38a. Any ideas, please?

Cheers,

Robbie

You need to have these match your secure certificate:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.alexandergifts.ca');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://alexandergifts.ca');

If the certificate is for: alexandergifts.ca

then they need to both match:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://alexandergifts.ca');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://alexandergifts.ca');

If the certificate is for: www.alexandergifts.ca
then they need to both match:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.alexandergifts.ca');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.alexandergifts.ca');

I believe you have your certificate for: alexandergifts.ca
