sdracer77 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hi All I'm trying to setup my SSL on PS. i have entered the secure url infomation from my host into the SEO URL part of BO. but when i try to enable the SSL on the Preferences tab .. it take me to the BO login page.. if i enter my username and password it just loops back to the same page with no error warning. (if i take out the secure url info ...i only get "The security certificate presented by this website was issued for a different website's address"..etc) An ideas what i'm doing wrong Using plain 1.4.4.0 ver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkontos Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Have you purchased a certificate for your domain ? If yes make sure that your hosting provider has set it up for you properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdracer77 Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi Gkontos i have a simple ssl from my host heart internet ...my PS was stored in a subfolder before ....i have moved it back to the root dir ...i managed to enter the ssl url into the SEO&URL tab and it now allows me to enable the ssl and to enter user name and password. this allows me to toggle the y/n for ssl enable (when set to yes the BO screen changes formats of the BO menu).... the browers switches to https:// xxxx.secure.secure.com/xxxxx.com. i can open my shop on another tab http: i can add to the cart ..........but now if i click on the cart it changes to https:/ but fails to open order.php and the same happens with login .....do i need to edit any files ...or is the problem with the ssl host................site works fine without ssl on update - I've just disabled the friendly URL .and i now get a page up ...but just a text page ..no images or formating latest update - Host is re-issuing the SSL will have to wait 24 hours Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkontos Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hi Steve, It sounds like a problem with mod_rewrite. Maybe you need to regenerate your .htaccess file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdracer77 Posted October 15, 2011 Author Share Posted October 15, 2011 (edited) Hi Gkontos I did try a .htaccess regen an d still had the same problem ... The problem turned out to be the SSl ..it was a shared SSL i had ordered a Full SSL but hadn't setup the admin email so i didnn't receive the agree email for the Rapid SSL ....Solved now (blanked out the domain name for SSL field) and site is working with https:// spent 3 days banging my head on the wall with shared ssl --- so well worth the extra cost of the Rapid ssl ..hope this helps others out [sOLVED] but can't see how to edit the title text Edited October 15, 2011 by sdracer77 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
