how do i turn on sure sll for checkout and admin

Ask your host what the correct HTTPS address is. https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk results in a 404 (page not found) error

Hi KIm

Well today the admin is secure so i am getting there, i noticed myself yesterday thay i had a: https:// in the secure address when it shoulh not be so that a bit of it anyway.

The hosting say:

We have mapped the URL:-

https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk/ to http://www.edenspirit.co.uk

Please note the s in https.

So i assume putting https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/ before the address makes it secure.

But today the login area and checkout are still not secure but admin is. This is a big issue which i am addressing straight away, i guess its just a case of keep pluggin away

I have been playing with these 2 files now and they are both starting to look the same and i am getting cross eyed.

In the admin config these 2 lines:

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.edenspirit.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk');

should they also be in the store adimn file?

Could it be stuck in cahe and i got to wait and see if right, any ideas???

Thanks for your help

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.edenspirit.co.uk');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk');

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


// 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', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_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_PHPBB', '/home/sites/edenspirit.co.uk/public_html/forum/');

// * 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_CATALOG', '/home/sites/edenspirit.co.uk/public_html/');

Those settings should be fine.
When you make your changes, are you sure they're uploading properly? If your /includes/configure.php file is read-only, then you'll have to make it writable before you can upload changes to it. You'll need to make it read-only again when you're done, so remember what permissions settings it had before you make changes.

Hi

I do not have any problems in ftp ing files back and fore. The admin is secure now but not the store, the settings look right, is there anything in the admin i need to set or something?

SSL on/off is handled by the settings in your configure.php files. The admin uses the admin config file, and the storefront uses the non-admin config file. There are no special admin settings required.

What's different between your store and a fresh install of Zen Cart ?

Hi

What i did was upgrade. In the end of lots of playing around i ended up with a fresh upload and i then ftp'ed my template over AND upload the data from my old version DB file so some how the site worked with my template and the data was from version 1.3.0.1 and i updated the DB.

I think that is about what i did, so it is and it says the latest version in the admin version checker thing.

Its just that for some reason the store conf file isnt letting the secure pages appear.

Is there anything i can show you to check??

Going to this address:

https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk/

... brings up a page that reveals that Zen Cart is actually attempting to load this address instead:
https://www.edenspirit.co.uk/

That can only happen if the /includes/configure.php file (at wherever the https://web30.secure-secure.co.uk/edenspirit.co.uk/ URL points to) contains https://www.edenspirit.co.uk/ for the HTTPS_SERVER entry.

Hi

Well it is sorted. And i must apologise for my stupidity. I was always on the right track but as is always the case something simple or stpuid which is my case, i was looking at the admin - includes - config file and the config file (html folder), and missed out the includes-config file.

Anway its sorted now, and thank you for all your help guys.

Got a few other threads on the go, will not mention here but if you come across them any help would be great

Cheers

paul
