OK, so they are saying at HostGator that I have to change my path if I want to use the shared SSL. I don't even plan on selling on this site anytime soon, so I don't really want to purchase a private SSL for it. Do I have to change every freakin' path in the entire store?? I'm not even sure HOW to change a path and if I don't want to change them all, how I know which ones to change?

I downloaded the CRE cart so I wouldn't have to *change* a lot of things.
I got a merchant account instead of trying to figure out how to get that stupid WPP module installed.

Am I missing something here? Should this really be this hard?

OK, I've been nosing around on BBHs site. :-)

The little lock thingee doesn't come up until I get to the checkout page. (Sorry, BBH. I am really not going to buy the flamingo postcard - but it is cute. Wink

)

So I just need to change the path for the stuff on the checkout pages? Is that something I do from cPanel or inside osCommerce?

You'd change the path in the configuration files. /includes/configure.php and admin/includes/configure.php (I think the files are named that on osC)

...or you could get an SSL ($14.95 here)

I changed those paths. It's still not working. I still get the same stupid error messages. :-(

I'm going to do my mail and go into town.

Come home.

Drink an adult beverage.

Then try again.

Great. I have to upgrade my hosting to get a private SSL.

iron_chick · 02-09-2006, 07:05 PM,

Woo-hoo! I think I got it. Finally. :-)

The folks at HG made it sound like it was a LOT that needed to be done. I didn't think it should be as hard as they made it sound!

I clearly need the "idiots guide to oscommerce."

The folks at HG said "since your using the shared SSL your path is:

https://secure62.hostgator.com/~ironchic" and that I would have to change my path to access the secure server.

I didn't realize that "changing my path" just meant going in and editing two files through my cPanel.

So now I've learned two new things. What a chmod is. And how to change a path. Smile

Tomorrow's adventure . . . figuring out why my logo isn't showing at the top. Smile

Today I learned how to break the RSS feeds on 3 Zencarts Smile
