slr1 Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 Hello all, I'm posting this here after sifting through all the posts on this topic in the forum. I installed a SSL certificate on my server and modified my configure.php files in my catalog and admin area. When I click on the checkout button, the link changes to https://.... , but the padlock does not appear. When I hit the refresh button, I can see it flicker briefly and then disappear :( I would be grateful for any tips and pointers as to what I am doing wrong. my configure file is as follows: define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.xxxx.com'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.xxxx.com'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure? define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.xxxx.com'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.xxxx.com'); define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/store/'); define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/store/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/store/'); define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/store/'); define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/'); define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/'); define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/'); define('DIR_WS_BOXES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'boxes/'); define('DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'functions/'); define('DIR_WS_CLASSES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'classes/'); define('DIR_WS_MODULES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'modules/'); define('DIR_WS_LANGUAGES', DIR_WS_INCLUDES .

'download/'); define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/'); where xxx is my domain name. I have a dedicated certificate.

I have a dedicated certificate. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> your define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'D:/Websites/xxxx.com/store/'); is set to D: ? it should be something like define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/public_html/yourdomain.com/catalog/'); Also is the missing padlock the only problem - i.e no other errors or alerts ?

slr1 Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 your define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'D:/Websites/xxxx.com/store/'); is set to D: ? it should be something like define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/public_html/yourdomain.com/catalog/'); Also is the missing padlock the only problem - i.e no other errors or alerts ? Charles <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, that seems to be the only problem. No other errors. In fact when I click on the empty spot where the padlock "should" be displayed, I get the information about the certificate. I tried making the change suggested in another thread in application_top as follows [comment out the line and replace with another // $request_type = (getenv('HTTPS') == 'on') ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL'; $request_type = (eregi ($HTTP_HOST, HTTPS_SERVER)) ? 'SSL' : 'NONSSL'; ] What this does, is show the padlock, but once I get into checkout mode, everything seems to be secured...even the catalog. I'm not sure that I want this. thanks for any suggestions ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I meant that once I get into the checkout process, "everything" I do after that is in the encyrpted mode i.e even when I navigate back to the home page of my store. I don't think I want that. Can I email you rather than post ? :) thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
