SSL I need to only have the Checkout SSL'd HELP!!!!

[tomcoleman]

hi there,

I want my shopping cart to run off my normal server (which has both SSL enable) so everything is normal when the shopping is adding products and that but when the shopping clicks the check out button i want the area to be SSL enabled is this possible???? Can i have it point to another SSL location for example my shooping cart is on http://111.111.111.111/shopping.php and when they click checkout i want them to be taken to a secure area example https://222.222.222.222/checkout.php is this possible can it be done ?

Please mail me at [email protected] or post back

I think it would be helpful if someone posted a clear treatise on SSL and check-out (perhaps adding to OSCDox). I find SSL confusing especially how to get just the checkout procedure with images and all there.

so can it be done?

Me too! How do you set this up? My webhosting company has given me a URL for a secure server they wrote:

"To access any page on your site securely, simply use https://www.oksecure.com.............."..

Simple to the knowlegable but what about us newbies, anyone willing to help with a step by step or lead us to some documentation?

ssl runs from a diffrent process, in effect a different server.

your normal server is http (hyper text transfer protocol)

secure server is https (blah,blah,blah.blah secure

 

so the "call" has to be different

 

from configure.php:

// Define the webserver and path parameters

// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)

// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.stnickco.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers

define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure.modwest.com/stnickco.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be NULL for productive servers

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

 

try the url they give,

http://secure.some_server.com/your_site.com

if you are using a virtual server such as

http://your_site.some-server.com

then your dir in place of your_site.com should work.

go to catalog/includes/local/configure.php

 

change ENABLE_SSL to 1

 

 

that's it!
