How to configure SSL?

[brucek]

Hello,
I have looked over the docs both wiki and osc guide and I have not seen any clear guidlines for enabling SSL on my store. In looking over related posts on this forum I have found a few items such as setting configure.php(both) to SSL enable, true. But many of the posts, although informative, don't tell me what the basic structure is.
Can someone point me to where the documentation on this is or help me with what statements need to be added or modified so that all parts of my store work after I enable SSL.
Thank you to anyone that can help!

Here is what my configure.php file looks like in the catalog dir( I've called it oscommerce )

// Define the webserver and path parameters
// * DIR_FS_* = Filesystem directories (local/physical)
// * DIR_WS_* = Webserver directories (virtual/URL)
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://mydomain.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://mydomain.com');
define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', '/osCommerce/');
define('DIR_WS_IMAGES', 'images/');
define('DIR_WS_ICONS', DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'icons/');
define('DIR_WS_INCLUDES', 'includes/'); // If "URL fopen wrappers" are enabled in PHP (which they are in the default configuration), this can be a URL instead of a local pathname
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/');

define('DIR_WS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'pub/');
define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); // where your pages are located on the server. if $DOCUMENT_ROOT doesnt suit you, replace with your local path. (eg, /usr/local/apache/htdocs)
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT . DIR_WS_CATALOG);
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'download/');
define('DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD_PUBLIC', DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'pub/');

// define our database connection
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
define('DB_SERVER_USERNAME', 'username');
define('DB_SERVER_PASSWORD', 'password');
define('DB_DATABASE', 'databasename');
define('USE_PCONNECT', 'false'); // use persistent connections?
define('STORE_SESSIONS', ''); // leave empty '' for default handler or set to 'mysql'

If you don't quite understand the configure.php files - you can ALWAYS re-run the install (but DON'T import the DB).

Note there are TWO configure.php - and both have to be changed.

SSL is setup soo many ways - it all depands on HOW you are accessing your secure pages.

This worked great for me! jpf is right on.

I only wish there was some way for you to use a temporary IP while you're developing (for an established business who wants to work on their new OSCommerce store right up and through the domain switchover).

As it is, putting in the actual domain makes everything go screwy. I had to change it back to the temporary IP while we put the finishing touches on the product listings. If anybody's got a way to do this, I'd appreciate hearing.
