admin under SSL

[Trusten]

yes, it's me again with a d@mn SSL question.

 

ok. i see in the admin area it says "you are not under a SSL server" or whatever. when i put it in the SSL area, it shows the lock that syas 'you are secured under an SSL server'

 

whatever. when i tried to install a catalog under NONSSL and put the admin under SSL, it REALLY didn't go well.

 

 

anyways,

 

how do i put the admin in SSL area, and the catalog in a NON SSL area, there must be away or else that d@mn lock wouldn't be there.

 

right?

Check the FAQ section, it goes into setting up the .htaccess for Apache. You will need to add a few lines to the httpd.conf file specifically for the admin location. The edit to httpd.conf will require a restart of the Apache engine.

 

Just did it myself.

:cry:

 

 

alright *sigh* back to the drawing board. i'll look into it.

 

Thank you,

 

btw, when you did it, did you have any real problems?

Try replacing the http://www.yourdomain.com in the admin/includes/configure.php (HTTP_SERVER) with

 

https://www.yoursecuredomain

 

Easy :)

um, not so easy. i HAVE tried that.

 

it gives the admin part errors. some areas keeps saying 'wrongfully placed'

 

and stuff like that.

I run my admin under full SSL.

 

It may help, it may cause errors, "backup first", then try it out. :)
