Trying to convert from shared SSL to dedicated SSL

[rayw1679]

My host (1&1/Ionis) dropped support for their shared SSL certificate and both Zen Cart stores' admin section is unavailable. They sent me a "gibberish" email (at least, to me) about adding it. I'm on 1.5.1, and can't upgrade because not everything I need is supported in later versions.

Would someone please tell me how/what files to modify (and where) to fix it?

That'll be in both the /includes/configure.php and /admin/includes/configure.php files, changing the HTTPS_SERVER and possibly DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG settings.

[rayw1679]

Thank you. I'm looking at it, trying to figure it out. I also have to figure out how to add the SSL.

Getting a message: "This page can’t be displayed

Turn on TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and TLS 1.2 in Advanced settings and try connecting to https://rdswebs.net again. If this error persists, it is possible that this site uses an unsupported protocol or cipher suite such as RC4 (link for the details), which is not considered secure. Please contact your site administrator. "

I've checked and those are turned on. Any ideas?


UPDATE: On another browser, I received a message that it couldn't be found. Could it possibly be the SSL isn't active yet?

Don't know how rdswebs relates to your server/domain, but when I try it I connect, though it appears that ZC is not installed in the root as index.html appears to be the index for that directory and it has generic content.

When setting up new SSL or transitioning to it, suggestion is to not force your customers to an https location until it has been worked out. Either that or put the store in maintenance mode with the same consideration.

[rayw1679]

Thank you. RDSWEBS.NET is our server. It has many websites and 2 Zencart stores in it.

We've had it for at least 10 years, but they're making us change it (they no longer allow their "generic" SSL (see first post), and until we do, the admin side won't work.

Have you purchased a replacement SSL certificate for the shared, free SSL certificate that was dropped?

[rayw1679]

Yes, thank you for asking. I did it a few hours ago, so it may not yet be effective.

[rayw1679]

I just received an order, but I can't sign in ... it just "ignores" the input. If someone could please look at this and tell me what I messed up, I'd appreciate it. (I have blanked out passwords and other sensitive info.)
