Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

I got my basic store working fine and then went into store/admin/includes and store/includes and enabled SSL on my site in both of these files.

I can still log as Admin but my store URL displays a white browser screen - nothing!

Any idea's on what I may have missed?

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

can you post a link to your site ?
also check your configure.php file in include folder to see you didn't leave any white space or missing ' in define statement

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

The configure.php files look ok.

The URL just displays a blank white screen. I use this format for the URL:

https://www.mysite.com/store/

but I guess the index.php file isn't able to build any content. This is terrible as I hope I don't have to reinstall ZenCart again and loose all my work.

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

you don't need to enter your site using https .. zen cart will take care of all pages that need SSL ..

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

Something must be messed up with my files. I removed the SSL in both configure.php files and now my store still doesn't display at all - still a white screen. I can still get into admin but the store won't display still :-(

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

there must be something wrong with the way you try to get into your store . or your includes/configure.php file is messed up ..

make sure you have not missed anything , such as ' or ) or extra while space in your configure.php file in places that you manually made changes.

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

This is all that is in my /store/index.php file:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>

So the content stopped getting pulled in for some reason, I'm sure to do with when I tried to enable SSL.

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

I re-installed my ZenCart. So I'm back to square one.

With this new installation I have only modifed two files:

/store/includes/configure.php

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

and in

/store/admin/includes/configure.php

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

This is all I need to do right?

When I start up my store, I can see it again, but the default store front but there is no "https".

When I go into admin, there is no "https".

Is this SSL configuration working in this version? or am I just missing another step?

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

did you install your SSL Certification on your server ? or do you have shared SSL ?

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

I have an SSL that has been working well for many months now. It's not shared.

rfresh:

You might have a error in one or both of your configure files.
You are using both
https://www.bestdbf.com
bestdbf.com
in the configure.php files
Your ssl cert is for https://www.bestdbf.com
Check both files
store/includes/configure.php
store/admin/includes/configure.php

Yes, I can manually enter https://www.bestdbf.com/store and get the SSL to work - however - it is my understanding that I should be able to just enter http://www.bestdbf.com/store and when it displays, ZC is susposed to use https and this is not what is it is doing. Was I told wrong here? Do I have to always use https all the time when I enter the URL?

I will re-check both of my configure.php files and make sure they have "www." in them.

Re: Enabled SSL now store doesn't show

Enter your store normal way.. once there , click on login .. you see zencart will use SSL .. zencart will only secures pages that need to be securing and not your entire site . thats how it should be.
