How to change httpsdocs path to httpdocs, post installation?

**dmilo** · 02-17-2003, 02:27 PM

I was able to install OsCommerce on my first try, by reading both the 'fast' and 'detailed' installation instructions in your manual. Thank you for creating that.

The pages of the sample cart come up, see http://www.wellohwell.com/catalog/. However...

During installation, I installed OSC in httpdocs/catalog - but I also checked the box for SSL. Now, when you click on "log yourself in" or "create an account" or "checkout", the URL is not found because it's sending you to the httpSdocs/ dir.

Before I delete the whole thing and start over - how could I change this path so it will just use httpdocs? Or, is there another option that I'm overlooking?

Thanks.

Dan

Change this in the /catalog/configure.php

Just find the "enable https" line and change it from true to false to disable it, or find the "https server" line, and change that to point to your correct https server.

Thanks. I couldn't find a /catalog/configure.php.

I did find a /catalog/includes/configure.php and a catalog/admin/includes/configure.php, and made this change in both of them:
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'false');

I also tried it in both as
define('ENABLE_SSL', false);
without the single quotes around false.

It didn't make any difference. It's still sending me to https://www... instead of http://www...

Am I doing something wrong? Is there somewhere else I can change something?

I gave you the wrong path. You found it. Just clear your browser cache. Also, change your https server to http://yourdomain.com

How can I edit that the link will change to https://www.mydomain.com when people click on Check out . If I do not edit as above, do I need to load Catalog and Admin to /httpsdocs?

In order to use SSL, you must change the settings as shown above, or it will not work at all.

msasek,

Explain how SSL will work by disabling it. I had the same problems as the first guy in this thread, I used your suggestions and it works now. EXCEPT that when I enter a credit card on an order, it's not secure. What am I missing, what did I do wrong?

Thanks!

This thread is actually about disabling SSL, not enabling it. To enable it, you have to have the correct secure server url, and have the SSL settings in the configure.php files set to true.

The above example was to disable SSL, and my second response was not really clear. The settings need to be set to TRUE for SSL to work.

Sorry for any confusion I caused

OK, that makes sense. So tell me this since I am having troubles. In my root I have 2 directories called httpdocs and httpsdocs. Currently I have all of the files in httpdocs, however, when I try to check out, the url switched to https://... but it cannot find the file it looks for (although it can when I disable SSL). Do I need to place files in the httpsdocs in order for it to work?

Thanks again!

If it helps, here is the error that I am getting: "Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/kerpop.com/httpsdocs/catalog/checkout_shipping.php on line 13"
