https:// not quite doing it for me yet!

[ozstar]

Hi,

I have 2 stores on two different servers. One (MS2.2)works works fine with https and I am trying to set up the other (latest MAX) also to work with the other server's https.

I have the correct paths as I have checked with host support and I am sure I have made the same changes in both catalog and admin config.php files that are in the shop that works.

What is happening..

I get to the site with the usual dom http url. Log in fine using the https url then buy but when I select a product it reverts back to the http url. When I go to the check out it goes back to the https url again and I am led back to another login. When I log in again here I am told my cart is empty.

This are my configs.........

catalog/includes


// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.starlitesong.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure5.myownserver.net/~starsong'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
---------------------------------

admin/includes

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.starlitesong.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure5.myownserver.net/~starsong');
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/starlite/public_html/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/starsong/public_html/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/starsong/public_html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

Thanks

Methinks it is a cookie / session issue.
With a shared ssl it is recommended to use sessions instead of cookies.
Look in your admin/configuration/
In there you can define to use sessions & all should be well.

[ozstar]

Thanks Neil ..

I have the /tmp as the default dir, and there is a dir with that name on site
Force Cookies FALSE
Session ID ON
User FALSE
IP FALSE
Spider TRUE
Recreate TRUE

In BOTH configures I have the SSL to true with the https URL where it should be.

Yet I still get the 2nd Login page when checking out.

Strange!!

[neil]

These values are stored in your database.
Easiest way is to log into your online admin through your browser.
yoursite.com.au/admin
Go to configuration/sessions & modify there.
If it is your first time in your online admin - see one of Michaels 'pinned' posts for a walk through.

[ozstar]

Thanks again,

Yes I made those changes in Admin, however I still get back to the Login a second time when using https. Regular http is fine right to Confirmation.

I also noticed...

When in https after the second log in I don't get to the shipping page I go straight to the Payment area

[neil]

Oh Dear,
Empty your browser cache & Refresh. Have a look if you are loosing your session id.
That is probably why you are having to log back in.
The session id is that long item that attaches itself onto the end of your URL eg:
?osCsid=2b5485191a43e5b950b26c52a2be946e
Do the last 2 lines of both configure.php files look like this:

define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
  define('STORE_SESSIONS', 'mysql'); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

If they do - post the settings in your admin > configuration > sessions

[ozstar]

Thanks again.. I appreciate your help..

I did a clear browser cache and have tried both IE and NS with the same results.

After clearing I cannot get to the https url with a 'No page found' result, but unless you see why below, it could be the host with maintenance. I will check this.. (Edit - I have checked and they are down due to formmail spam o'load)

Anyway, this is what I have..

Session Directory /tmp
Force Cookie Use False
Check SSL Session ID True
Check User Agent False
Check IP Address False
Prevent Spider Sessions True
Recreate Session True

Also....


catalog/configure

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.starlitesong.com.au'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure5.myownserver.net/~starsong'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

admin/configure

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://www.starlitesong.com.au');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://secure5.myownserver.net/~starsong');
define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/home/starsong/public_html/catalog/'); // where the pages are located on the server
define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/starsong/public_html/catalog/admin/'); // absolute pate required
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/catalog/'); // absolute path required
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/starsong/public_html/catalog/'); // absolute path required

Thanks

The difference I have is this:

Session Directory  	/tmp  	 
Force Cookie Use 	False 	 
Check SSL Session ID 	False 	 
Check User Agent 	False 	 
Check IP Address 	False 	 
Prevent Spider Sessions 	True 	 
Recreate Session 	True

I can't see www.starlitesong.com.au in my browser? Is this online or are you working locally

[ozstar]

Thanks again..

I have changed the Sessions to read like yours but I have been informed the secure server is down due to them fixing the spam problem. Hopefully I can try in a few hours again.

Thanks

Hi,

With latest MAX Everything works fine except when I still cannot get https to work.

After I log in as customer I go here and choose the product. Note session ID.

http://www.starliterecords.com.au/ca...2e2fde50a5aaaa

When I 'Add to Cart' I go here - Note NO session ID

http://www.starliterecords.com.au/ca...pping_cart.php

When I click 'Checkout Button' I go here to new Login Page. Note NEW Session ID.
