problem setting up SSL after install

[partyh]

Hi Guys,

I'm having a little troubel as I'm new to all this....

I read the article: https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=14 - "How to configure SSL/HTTPS after i have installed Zen cart"...but I still couldn't get it to work...

My SSL is currently a shared cert & I entered the details when installing Zen, however it did not work & I could only login if I disabled it.

I am now trying to get it to work, but I'm not sure where I am going wrong. I have included the code Zen says to change & other bits of code that might be relevant.

Many Thanks in advance :)

1. my store location is: /shop
2. my cert is in this format: https://secure19.inmotionhosting.com/~dom5

.:: /admin/includes/configure.php ::.

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure19.inmotionhosting.com/~dom5');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure19.inmotionhosting.com/~dom5');

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

.........however I also have this:

define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', 'https://www.domain.com/shop/shop/admin/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://www.domain.com/shop/shop/'); 

.:: /includes/configure.php ::.

// Define the webserver and path parameters
  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg, http://www.yourdomain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg, https://www.yourdomain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure19.inmotionhosting.com/~dom5');

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

............and I also have this:

// 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_CATALOG', '/shop/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://www.domain.com/shop/shop/'); 

Many Thanks

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

These do not require being set to true and will only slow browsing

And depending on how yur host has their shared cert configured, you might need to load some files to it or maybe not.

An Aside - A Private SSL Cert can be obtained for less than $20 USD/year and would look more professional as your customers would always see your url in the browser. You would need a dedicated IP for this also

Hi Kobra,

thanks for the reply - I'll def get my own ssl once i figure things out.

however it still does not work...

the link generated on login is: https://secure19.inmotionhosting.com/~dom5https://www.domain.com/shop/shop/index.php?main_page=login

I think it is inputting this as an extra: https://www.domain.com/shop

Yes you need to look at the comments that are above the entries like for this one

// 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_CATALOG', '/shop/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://www.domain.com/shop/shop/');
