    Default "Your Shopping Cart is Empty" after SSL certificate installation

    Hi Zen Cart community,

    I have encountered this operational problem after the installation of a dedicated SSL certificate with webhostingpad.com. The shopping cart doesn't work properly, in fact when a user click on add item, is redirected to okidoqui.com/shopping_cart that displays "Your Shopping Cart is Empty".

    Some details about my system:
    • Web Site: www.okidoqui.com
    • Server OS: Linux 2.6.18-338.19.1.el5.lve0.8.36
    • PHP Version: 5.2.17
    • Zen Cart 1.3.8a
    • Database Patch Level: 1.3.8


    I already studied previous threads such as:


    and the tutorial:


    I guess that the problem occurs because of the .htaccess file, but I am not sure. Here attached the .htaccess file:

    Code:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.okidoqui.com/$1 [R,L]
    
    RewriteEngine On
    # -FrontPage-
    
    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
    
    <Limit GET POST>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from all
    </Limit>
    <Limit PUT DELETE>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    </Limit>

    If I take out the first three lines, which activate the redirection to https, the shopping cart works wonderfully. I need the SSL connection and I need your help.

    I checked out with the hosting provider, which says that the SSL installation works fine and after looking at the SSL tutorial for Zen Cart, they say that are complying with it.

    Hoping that someone can help me out. Thanks.

    All best :-)

    Those lines are unnecessary for SSL to work properly - unless your host has a really screwy server setup.

    Also:

    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.okidoqui.com');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.okidoqui.com');
    It isn't necessary to define HTTP_SERVER as SSL. In fact, it's generally a bad idea.

    Please upgrade your cart! V1.3.8 is subject to serious security vulnerabilities and hacking.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    1) Why are running the entire store undr SSL? normally if you set it up correctly, zencart automatically switches to SSL where sensitive data is transmitted
    2) You have insecure assets being used,which will cause security warnings to your customers
    as in one of your banners you an insecure link to an offsite asset namely an image
    img src="http://www.linkreferral.com/images/linkreferal/linkbutton.gif"


    I get this warning when i click the add to cart button

    Information from this secure page will be submitted to a page that is not secure on okidoqui.com.

    Submitting sensitive information is strongly discouraged.

    3) What happens if you do the following
    i) get rid of that redirect it is unnecessary, that stuff should all be set in zencarts configure files
    ii) then edit the configure file
    // Define the webserver and path parameters
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
    define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');
    If that works correctly, which it should

    And you insist on having your entire store in SSL

    then try changing the http server in the config file
    so it is like the below
    // Define the webserver and path parameters
    define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
    define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.YOUR_SHOP.com');
    define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

    Thanks for the suggestion, I agree and I removed the three lines.

    Thanks, I also agree on this. It is not necessary to secure the whole Web site. But, after applying the configure.php modification and removing the three lines from .htacces, I have the same problem still.

    Could it be a problem with the sessions? I don't see any issue with that, but it is the only thing that I can think of. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the quick responses.

    Thanks, this change was important too.

    In conclusion, thanks all of you! The three changes where all necessary for the shopping cart to work. LOVING ZENCART COMMUNITY!



    You are the best!

    All best,
