Hello,
I have several problems/question:
1. After adding products to my cart in the insecure section of my site in the SSL-secured section the cart is emtpy.
you can try it here: http://store.maysart.com/shop/.
2. When I change the .htaccess.txt file to .htaccess file my entire site is not working and the following error show:
Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
3. How can I check my Paypal (sandbox) credit card payment with fake credit card (If I enter my real credit card, will it charge me?)?
4. In the Paypal payment configuration what are the "Transaction Method" and "Order Status" fields?

Thank you very much, O0

1. The url changed, so you can't hold the cart variables. I would simply make the entire site SSL - no gimmicks or gotchas there.
2. htaccess might work differently on your server. Contact your host to find out whether the commands in the current htaccess file can be tweaked a little for that server.
3. Paypal gives you a credit card to use with your sandbox. Please read their documentation.
4. Transaction method is a paypal method. Authorization and capture or just the regular sale. Choose sale if you don't know what this is.
Order status is what you would like to set the order status to when a successful sale is completed through this payment gateway.

Hope this helps

Thank you for your answers.
But I don't want my all shop to be SSL secured, it is bandwidth waster and much slower. I saw many online shops that your products show both in the secure sections and the insecure onces. Don't you have a solution for the Open Cart system?
thanks

OpenCart doesn't support sharedssl at this time. See more info here: http://forum.opencart.com/viewtopic.php ... shared+ssl
As far as putting the whole shop in ssl mode, I dont recommend that either. Slows things down a lot and if you are using a shared ssl, then your url will always show the shared ssl instead of your shop ssl. You will just need to get a dedicated SSL for now.

This is usually caused by your webhost not supporting the OptionsFollow+Symlinks. Try commenting that out with a # and try again. Otherwise it could be your host doesn't allow mod_rewrite and its time for a new host.
4. In the Paypal payment configuration what are the "Transaction Method" and "Order Status" fields?
Authorization means you have to manually accept the money in your paypal account after a customer pays
Sale means it is done automatically and gets transferred to your account as soon as payment is made.

Hi,
Are you intending to add support in shared SSL? :-\

About the .htaccess, what should I comment with #?

Thanks.

Thanks.

hi,
Just to add to this thread, i too am using a shared ssl & having the same problem with the items going from the cart which i know is to do with cookies & changin from a 'http' to 'https' which would create 2 different cookies. If i add a few item to my cart then go to check out which is from http to https, they are gone (stored in the other http cookie) but if i go to view cart then simply refresh the page or update an item, it then updates / refreshes then reloads the view cart page but in a secure SSL page & with the items still in the cart?
If this can be done just by refreshing the view cart page & then the page reloads in SSL with the items still there then i would have thought that there is something amongst all the coding that is carrying the items data through or redirecting it all to the secure cookie data but i cannot work this one out & have been trying for over 24hrs (yesterday today).
I have looked at the coding at the back of the update button etc & copied / pasted / altered etc to my checkout button but no joy.
I will keep my eye on this thread & hope that somebody solves it ;)

You need to look at the php web site and how it handles cookies.

If they allow cookies acros 2 domains then great. I'm not sure how it could be done. Maybe if the cookie is stored in the customer table and restarted when the domain is switched.

Just been messing with the code in the catalog/controller/checkout/cart.php & by changing a couple of the http to https & then click the update button, it puts reloads the page but in secure ???
the lines i have changed the http to https are line 48:-
'href' => $this->url->https('checkout/cart'),
& also in line 76:-
$this->data['action'] = $this->url->https('checkout/cart');
& also line 117:-
$this->data['checkout'] = $this->url->https('checkout/shipping');
having tried various http & https with these 3 lines it appears that its only line 76 isthat is the one that when i click the 'update' button it refreshes / reloads the page in SSL with all items still in cart ???

Hi,
I have decide to buy our own SSL cert as i found a site in the US that selling them for just £61 per year (based on 6 yrs) so instead of spending any more time trying to sort it out with a shared SSL, i may as well just buy our own which i will hopefully have in place sometime this week as i'm having to change hosts because the one's we are with will only let us use ther paid for SSL at £207 per year.
cheers for your help on this though.

Does that price include the static IP address ?
I just set up SSL on Bluehost.com
the SSL was $45 for one year with no long term commitment.
plus I had to buy an static IP for another $30 a year
for a total of $75

The bluehost hosting account is $83 a year..I have used them for about 3 years and am very happy with them.

A lot of hosting company will give you the price of the SSL cert.
and not tell you about the IP requirement until you start to order.

So far my SSL and open cart worked right out of the box after I
made the https file path changes to the config files.

I was beginning to wonder if i had done it right because
it had gone so smoothly.

Hello.

I was reading up on "paypal transaction method." I still do not understand the difference between authorization and sale.

(this is in the general settings for paypal inside the opencart administration panel)

Could someone please explain this to me? Thank you very much! :)

I am waiting for Open Cart 3.0
