Error Code : -12263

I've install zen cart and everything was going fine, but I cannot open my Admin Area.
It says :

mydomain.net has sent an incorrect or unexpected message. Error Code; -12263

What's that?
And what can I do?

thanks!:smile:

I just noticed that I have the same error when I try to log in...

try turning off ssl in your configure files and see if it goes away.

Thanks!!

I've turned "false" in include/configure.php
WHERE
// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

AND

admin/include/configure.php
WHERE
// Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true');
define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'false');

Is that ok?
Well it works now! ;)
Thanks you very much!:laugh:

Should I change the SSL for false in the 2 configures files or in only one?

Hi Elyianha,

I think this is not the right way to remove problem -12263

As per the requirement of Zen-cart framework you must have these futures with your application server.
· Support for HTTPS may be required depending on the payment methods being accepted.

· SSL certificate for secure online credit card transactions. The use of SSL during account creation and checkout is recommended.

First you'll active your https server with your domain name then change as give below

Take some changes with both configuration files which are available in admin/includes and includes folders.

For Admin configuration file

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.your domain name');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.your domain name');

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.your domain name');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.your domain name');

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

For Catalog/includes configuration file add

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.your domain name');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.your domain name');

define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

I think your problem will be remove after these changes.

Note:- If you don't want to use online payment gateway then you can set the value of ENABLA_SSL with false, for run your application, but after this your application will not behavior as a secure site.

My answer was based on the assumption that there was no SSL in place. The fact that it worked after setting to false shows that I was correct or an SSL is not installed correctly. It's a common mistake in new installs to see the admin security and sya to one's self, "Yep, I'd like the admin secure."

If you have an SSL, it is not installed correctly. If you don't, there are several things you will need to research before getting an SSL. What is or is not provided by your host, does the host allow both http and https from one directory, etc.

For now, you can build and research.

there is in fact NO SSL certificate on my server.

But I disabled the credit card payment, I only work with paypal.

Hi dbltoe,

I'm understanding why you want to set **false **for **ENABLE_SSL. :smile:

Zen cart forum provide us a platform where we share our knowledge,** your suggestion is valuable but problem is that **Elyianha **want to used paypal payment gateway and we must have a SSL certificate for secure application in which we use online credit card transactions for Paypal, Protx or any other payment gateway.

I think the server (where Elyianha application hosted ) must have a SSL certificate.

**Elyianha please send a require to your web host admin to map your SSL certificate (If you have) with your live application directory.

After this, changes in both configuration files.

Including this you can check other SSL related topics of this forum
like **SSL setup - should I duplicate files?

I know Kobra and Kuroi have often mentioned my verbosity and we could have a debate over whether or not a merchant had to have an SSL for PayPal but, the primary concern was to get to the admin to build a new cart.

Once we get to the admin and can start building the site, we can decide which PayPal connection and whethter or not SSL is even required for either.

I've already written to my host to know if they provided secure SSL connection, and they don't...

SSL can be added from several vendors. First of all, you may want to investigate whether or not your PayPal connection even requires it.
Depending on your product, customers may be okay with non-secure login. Using express checkout, they won't need to register and will be using PayPal's secure servers.

I have this same error. I am trying to use SSL only in the admin area (don't need it in catalogue).
My host does support SSL and I have a Key & Certificate in place on the server.
My admin configure.php file has the following...

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.myserver');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.myserver');
  define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.myserver');
  define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://www.myserver');

  // Use secure webserver for catalog module and/or admin areas?
  define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'false');
  define('ENABLE_SSL_ADMIN', 'true');
```HELP please... any suggestions welcome :lookaroun

Do you get the same error ? If so, it's your SSL certificate setup that's the problem. You'll need to talk to your hosting company about that.

I am getting this same error with my site hardwoodcanes.com turns out it's my host's fault. They'll fix it tomorrow.

Try to upgrade your apahce..
