shipping_info problem

[harryk]

I have been editing my store.php file. For the first time, I am trying to check out. When I press the "continue..." button in the cart, I get "The page cannot be displayed" in the web browser. The URL trying to be accessed is "https://www.northpoletoyshop.com/store.php?shipping_info=1". I have a feeling it is has something to do with https. What am I missing?
Can someone direct me to the page that describes how to set this up? (ssl I presume). I know I had read it some time ago.

Thanks!

Hello,

You have likely specified an incorrect URL for the $site_secure_root variable in your squirrelcart/config.php file. That variable should contain a valid, active URL for your cart (whether using SSL or not).

The only difference is the "https" verses the URL with "http". How do I setup the certificate? I have a shared certificate enabled with my hosting provider. I thought that would be enough. Is there something else I should be checking? If I delete the "s" from "https" in the web browser, the cart continues correctly.

Thanks!

Hi,

With a shared certificate, you can't use:
https://www.yoursite.com

You have to use something more like this:
https://server1.yourwebhost.com/~youraccount

If you want to use the shared certificate, your best bet is to check with your host to find the correct URL for it. You could also purchase an SSL certificate and have your host install it for you. That would allow you to then use your domain name in the secure URL.

Thanks!
I'll check with my host then.
