switching the site to https

[Zero222 0]

Hello

I can't switch the site to https.

When I switch the hosting site to https, it turns out to be Abracadabra . What should I change in the files???

In the two configure.php files, change the things that say http: to https:

Note that this assumes that your host is answering on https.  If there's a problem with that, you'd have to take it up with your host.

What should I change in the files and where?

@Zero222  Please read what ecartz posted. He said change all http entries to https in both of the configure files. You may also want to add something into your htaccess files so all customer and search engine links transfer across to SSL as well. Adding something like this should work, but replace the #### for your site url.

# Rewrite code for non www to www and from HTTP to https
RewriteCond  %{HTTPS} off   [OR]
RewriteCond  %{HTTP_HOST}  !^www\.  [NC]
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$  https://www.####.com/$1  [R=301,L]

OK. Thank you. Sorry. In which directory are these two files located?

They are both in the store front and admin includes folders. So its admin/inckudes/configure and includes/configure

Don't forget to open the port 443 on your router or firewall.
