Help Making Oscommerce Secure (https)

[OWC]

I was just wondering how I go about making my oscommerce secure (https). I am trying to find a tutorial, but have not seen one. Can anyone step by step it for me?

Just accessing your site with the https://YOUR-TCH-SITE makes it secure.

OWC,

 

First thing is do you have your own SSL certificate, or are you going to use the TCH shared certificate?

I don't have my own, so I assume I would share...

 

What's next?

According to the SSL help pages, you first need to send a help desk ticket in requesting to use the shared certificate:

 

http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/sslpage.htm

 

Once that is set up, you are going to need to modify your configure.php files in

includes/

admin/includes

 

There will be a define enabling SSL (change to true)

And HTTPS Server defines that you will need to add this path to

 

https://serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com/~username/

 

XX=Your server number

~username = the username you use for cpanel

 

Hope that helps!

Looks like we need to edit that page. There is no need to submit a Help Desk ticket to have the shared SSL activated. It is available on non-reseller servers by using the format that GroovyFish copied at the end of the last post.

I am wanting access my site using ssl, but when I goto https://mysite.com I get: "there is no website configured at this address".

 

What directory to you get pointed to when you use https?

 

Thanks,

The URL would look like this to use the shared SSL

 

https://serverXX.totalchoicehosting.com/~cpanelname

 

Replace the "XX" with your server number. That link will put you in the public_html folder.
