Changing over to SSL after non-SSL install?

[osc snob]

Okay, so this may be posted somewhere on the site but I have not been able to find it after over an hour of looking, so here it is:

I installed Oscmax 2.0 to mess around and see if it worked. It did. Me likey. I am now ready to implement the site and need to use an ssl (shared from 1and1.com.)

My question is how to get the site/check-out and admin ported over to the ssl from a preceding straight up install?

Thanks

That is pretty easy to do. Just edit the includes/configure.php file and change the SSL parameters in there to match your server's ssl url and path.


/includes/configure.php

 
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.domain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.secure-domain.com/~username');
define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.domain.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'https://www.secure-domain.com/~username');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog_name/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog_name/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog_name/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog_name/'); 
  

Notice that 'your-site.com' is not the same as 'www.your-site.com'. If your SSL Cert is registered with the domain 'www.your-site.com' you will need to replace all instances of 'your-site.com' with 'www.your-site.com'


admin/includes/configure.php

 
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://your-site.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure-domain.com/~username');
define('ENABLE_SSL', true);
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'your-site.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'secure-domain.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog_name/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog_name/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog_name/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog_name/');

I am going through this issue as well. I have been working with the two config files. The secure part seems to function. But, all images that are in the /image directory are not showing when using the HTTPS:// I have configured the hosts "Hotlink Protection" and it does not seem to be the issue. I have been searching and all info I have found so far does not seem to be at fault.

Here is the current config.php (The production has 'ENABLE_SSL' set to false at the moment.)

  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.pettents.org'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.pettents.org'); // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers
  define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.pettents.org');
  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.pettents.org');
  define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/cart/');
  define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/cart/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/cart/');
  define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/cart/');
  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 . 'languages/');
