I now have a shared SSL and need to know which pages to hyperlink to the secure URL. Any suggestions on which pages I should secure, such as all of the account pages and all of the checkout pages??


The directions say to change the hyperlink to the secure URL. If I do all of the account and checkout pages, this will be a lot of work won't it?


Sorry for all the questions...I'm trying to have the new host site up and running smoothly by Friday.


Thanks!

Yes, you will definately want all your checkout & account pages to be secure.


It sounds like a lot of work, but I'm not sure because I'm not familiar with their system.

Does anyone know where I can find the files/folders that include the hyperlinks (for oscommerce)? Such as catalog/includes/languages/english??

In osCommerce, I believe you have to change the settings in catalog/includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php.

a) catalog/includes/configure.php </span>

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); // eg, http://localhost (http://localhost/) - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com'); // eg, https://localhost (https://localhost/) - should not be empty for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourdomain.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'yourdomain.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
<br style="font-weight: bold;">b) admin/includes/configure.php</span>

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com'); // eg, http://localhost (http://localhost/) - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.yourdomain.com');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://yourdomain.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

Then it should automatically secure the appropriate pages and display the https in the address bar.

OK, but if it is a shared SSL, should I replace the https://yourdomain.com with the shared url https://domain.com/~username/file.htm??

Yep, if they gave you a path to the certificate's location, that is the one to use in your configure files. smileys/smiley20.gif<!--

Hmmm...still not working right. smileys/smiley7.gif

Finally got it.
