Hi,

I am using a fresh install of OpenCart v1.5.1.3, website is http://emmashome.co.uk/shop

Basically my site doesn't seem to be using SSL correctly. I know it is installed correctly on the server for the domain emmashome.co.uk (it was done by a 3rd party) and I have it turned on in OpenCart settings and the config.php file is as below:

Code: Select all

// HTTP
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://emmashome.co.uk/shop/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://emmashome.co.uk/shop/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://emmashome.co.uk/shop/admin/');

// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://emmashome.co.uk/shop/');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://emmashome.co.uk/shop/image/');

Am I missing something? the SSL works when I specifically enter https://... but not when I just visit the site URL. Do I need to specifically direct users to the https:// address or can I have them go to there automatically so the entire site is secured?

Thanks for any help

SSL only encrypts data on login, my account and checkout pages.

Looking at your store I can see that you have a custom template.

The login link works fine and is SSL. The register link has not been coded correctly and is non-SSL

Checkout is also secure on SSL

So, you just need to fix your Register link in your controller to add the 'SSL' parameter (similar to the login link code).

p.s. Love the Cookie Disclaimer

It is possible to have your entire shop under SSL.
But first you have to adres some simple errors to have it fuction correctly.
Your logo is send throug http so that has to be corrected.
to check for ssl errors you can visit this site http://www.whynopadlock.com/ it will tell you where the errors are.

When everything works weel you can edit your htaccess and ad the following rule before the other rewrite conditions.

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Thank you all for your help and advice, saved me some time figuring this out.

Unfortunately I had to change the cookie disclaimer as it wasn't "professional"
