again a SSL problem

[marcal]

1. Well, I installed osCMax in the http directory.
2. I enabled SSL support using the shared certificate of my server provider.
3. I setted up the configure.php files

Then I tried it out:

Main page= OK
Create an account= redirection to the https directory using the shared SSL
I can see the text but no the images (bacground, etc...)

Then, I'm advised to move the php files to the https directory, but WHICH FILES?


I contacted my server provider support... they suggest to install the whole package in the https directory. Well, I did it and it DOES NOT work, because there are both secure and non-secure pages to be displayed...

So: is there any kind of "installation manual for dummies"?. I'm not an expert, but I'm doing my very best. I've never read the "copy the php files to the https directory" anywhere... and still, I'm supposed to know it?

any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

did you edit both your

catalog/includes/configure.php

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.yourserver.com'); // eg, cPanel® - should not be empty for productive servers
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.yourserver.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.yourserver.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.yourserver.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');
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/');



and

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php



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

Do you have hotlink protection on in your hosting account control panel? If so, you need to allow the ssl domain access if it a shared certificate.

I'm waiting for the answer of my provider. I hope it is just that easy.

What about the php files?. Should I have a copy of the whole package in the https directory? I've read osCommerce was designed in order to work without the need to do that, but it seems it doesn't work...

That has nothing to do with osCMax. If your host has not aliased the ssl directories to be the same as the non ssl directories, you will have to keep a separate set of your files and images in the ssl directories.

Your host will be better able to tell you where to locate your files.

Finally a clear answer !!!!

Thanks you VERY VERY MUCH !!!

regarding those files... do I need to copy them all of only some of them. In tha case, which ones?

thanks

It is easiest just to copy them all

Yeah, I did it and now it works. But I'm thinking when it comes to customize the package... then it must be done twice (or copied twice for that matter) and I'm very good at forgetting things.

Thanks a lot !
