pls help, newbie with oscommerce about SSL

[replogle]

hi everyone, my web hosting offers a share SSL, I've enable it.
but don't know how I can use this share SSL in the eshop page.
I've read many posts about changing the configure.php file, and I'm so confused...... don't know what to do......
I've asked for help from the web hosting and they don't care.

Pls help super newbie

What is your HTTPS URL and HTTP URL?

It may be best to re-run the INSTALLATION - but don't import the database.

Make sure sessions is stored in the database!

If you have problems then post your catalog/includes/configure.php (less the DB info) and we can help.

this is the code of /catalog/includes/configure.php
Do I have to change the other configure.php file in order to make it work??? how do I define the database? Pls help I don't really know
how to edit and configure the oscommerce thanks

define('ENABLE_SSL', true); // secure webserver for checkout procedure?

Add in the missing information....

Possably:
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'eekpigs.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'eekpigsssl.c2.hostexcellence.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/catalog/');

thanks so much for replying my post, I've added the changes you told me but when I try my eshop the SSL connection didn't activate, so the purchase was done without any security. Can you please tell me what else I should change to get it right many thanks

eshop site: http://eekpigs.com/catalog/index.php

I finally understand why there is 2 configure.php file, and know that Oscommerce will automatically choose SSL or non SSL to display.
The problem that I have is, I've changed and edited both configure.php as you said, but it when I click on checkout the SSL didn't kick in.......
besides changing the configure.php file should I do something else before the Oscommerce will work.
I'm using firefox web browser, I initially thought it was not compatible with OS, but I tried using IE explorer but still the same problem.

Any experts willing to help me please, I've little knowledge about PHP or oscommerce thank you
