I keep getting this error when i go to check out on my site:

"Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to cheappcgamesbillig.com.

SSL received a record that exceeded the maximum permissible length.

(Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long)

The page you are trying to view can not be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site."

Is this a paypal error? or is it an error with my site setup?

Sorry I don't know much about this stuff.

thanks

Joel,

Did you purchase and configure an SSL certificate for your domain ?

Did you edit the two configure.php files to enable the SSL ?

Hi Chris,

No, I didn't purchase nor configure a SSL certificate.
I did not edit the configure.php files to enable SSL.

The only thing i did was setup paypal standard.

Thanks

You need to alter both configure files to accept the ssl certificate.
REMEMBER BACKUP, BACKUP AND BACKUP
I am not a coder. OSC has a steep learning curve, but in general the program does work. If it doesnt work, the chances are it is something you have done.

From home I get the SSL error but from work I get the following error:

"The connection was interrupted

The connection to cheappcgamesbillig.com was interrupted while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."

If I need to alter both configure files would you be able to let me know what and how I need to alter it?

thanks

@mavricktree,

Using a text editor, download the /includes/configure.php file and change this:

define('ENABLE_SSL', false);

to this:

define('ENABLE_SSL', true);

Then upload the edited file back to your server.



same thing with the /admin/includes/configure.php

I ckecked what you've menitoned and it already says true

but when changed it to false it actually worked, but is that mean that my conncetion is not secure now,

I'd like to have it secure so my costumer have more securty when they visit my store
