Security / Re: What is the need for HTTPS? I have PayPal Standard acct but may add others
« on: December 11, 2013, 11:57:08 AM »
Abolabo, Junkyard,

I appreciate your helpful suggestions...Could you check again and see if you are still finding errors?  I believe things are fixed now as there were some errors on the hosting side...I am not getting the error on firefox that you mentioned (junkyard) I believe I have solved that by forwarding both site and www.site to site/store. 

I am mainly concerned that customers can get to the store by way of loveisreal-believe.com ,   they should see http:// for the main store and when they go to cart or set up account they will see https://

Great site, I appreciate all you folks do!

Installation and Configuration / Re: another try on multistore setup
« on: December 11, 2013, 12:09:36 AM »
Abantecart, I am following this thread in order to set this up as well.

I believe the question that needs classified is step #2
Configure Apache virtual host to access same abantecart directory for all domains you configure for multi store....can you explain step 2 in detail?  I believe this is the point that is the problem.

Thank you,
Great help as always
David

Ron,
Thanks,
Yes everything was working perfectly until I set up the ssl...now it just does all kinds of crazy things....I personally can only get in with firefox...but IE or chrome no go...

I'm about ready to give up on the ssl...but I'm sure customers will appreciate it...

by the way, I checked out your site.  very nice...  Now, your site is working exactly how I want mine to work...the main site is just http and the cart changes to https.

can you tell me how you have your website configured....It seems like there is something that is set up wrong....Now, when you went into my site...it goes directlly to the ssl doesn't it? showing https:// because that is how I get it...

Thanks for your help...

abantecart or anyone!,

I am still having problems with the ssl set up on my site..

I have had several posts up about it...but no resolution yet... :'(

It may be something simple so I thought i would start with a couple questions.

  1)    In the System/settings/details page there are two spots to put the store url
Store url:     and Secure Store url:

when using the ssl should both of those have the https://mysite.com....or does the first one have http://...  ???
I have changed them to both https://.... and I believe it works better...but I don't know what it should be set to...

  2)   the .htaccess file for setting up the forwards....I want to set up the site so that customers could get to the store with any of the possible ways of typing in the name(my store is located at loveisreal-beleive.com/store)....ie.. loveisreal-believe.com; www.loveisreal-believe.com; http://loveisreal-believe.com; Sooooo do I need to have rewrites for this in the .htaccess that is under /store...Or do I need rewrites that are directly under the loveisreal-believe htaccess?

  3)   and just to add another question...perhaps there is another way to set up the ssl entirely???  It occurs to me that perhaps I could set up the ssl certs directly on the loveisreal-believe.com/store...then I could forward the root domain to the store? perhaps this would solve the problem I am having...

here is the problem...when I try to reach the website/store I get an error of not found....even though others say they are getting in...If I am having problems then others may as well...I have cleared the cache on abantecart...and on my browser...still problem getting in...my webhosting found a problem with the ip having one for my account and one for the ssl...so they supposedly fixed this...still not getting in....unless I type the whole thing....https://loveisreal-believe....etc.

obviously something is not set up right...I would sure appreciate some help with this...or any part of it...

Thanks all,
David

one more thing I need help with.
 
the following is what Lee sent me...to set it up so people can get to the ssl site...
I need help to know how to do this...

Thanks,

"""Yes, the cert treats each as individual domains - with the www  is one,  without the www is another. Choose either one you want for your cert, you will be able to redirect or use rewrite to take make it transparent to your visitors.
 Clearly, you want visitors to be able to use an SSL connection whether they visit example.com or www.example.com. To enable this functionality, you can use Apache rewrite rules in a custom .htaccess file. 

 The following lines demonstrate how to redirect visitors who enter a domain name without the www prefix to a secure connection. With these settings enabled on your web site, visitors who go to example.com or www.example.com (where example.com represents your domain) both obtain an SSL connection:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Ron,
Thanks for the quick response.

I was about 10 min too soon...my hosting service did get it so I can get back in to the site again...just received an email from them.

however, the page looks strange....all the nice stuff pictures,  slider were gone...
I had to reset my password to get back in to admin...turned on the ssl and changed the address for the site to the correct ssl version and voila it works now...

I have asked my hosting tech guys if they can tell me what they did to set it up...if I find out anything I will post it...
There are some other issues that I will need help with on this...as soon as I test out everything...

Thanks,
David

Hi Ron,

Thanks for your post.  I was just getting ready to post myself on this issue. 
I have had my webhosting service install the ssl on my website.  It is Rapid SSL  by Geotrust.

First, let me say that I am one you speak of...I cannot get into my admin section after they installed the ssl certs...etc   I get a 404 not found error on the page either for my site or for my admin...I guess it makes sense because they are all installed under http://mydomain.com/store ..
If I had only known I would have checked the little box to turn the ssl on before they installed the ssl and I believe that would have solved this problem...as it is, my website is down and I can't get in to my admin either...major problem!!

I can get into my files through my c-panel... Is there a way I can access the file that this ssl setting is in for the admin section through the c-panel and edit the file there to turn on the ssl?

I would need to know what files to look for and how to find them....and how to change them

If someone could tell me how to do this we might be able to solve it...

Thank you
David

  I am finally getting some movement on the SSL setup...they sent me a form to fill out.  I am thinking that I would set it up for https://yourdomainname.com rather than https://www.yourdomainname.com they are saying that I have to choose one or the other for the ssl setup.  I am thinking that I can forward the www...... to the other in the c-panel....I will try that. 

They are also asking:          For third party SSL certificates please include if the CSR needs to be greater than 2048 in size.

I don't know the answer to this question.  what is the CSR size that we need for abantecart?

Once I have this set up then I will need help from abantecart to set this up for the shopping cart...

Thank you,
David

« on: November 25, 2013, 11:23:22 PM »
I can tell you how I have set it up...there are several ways you can do it...but what I have done is to show the Order summary Block on my Checkout pages.  This will include the tax in the total that it shows...you can check out our site...I just published it live a couple days ago...loveisreal-believe.com

Good luck with your site....

Hi,
I ran into the same thing...try going to System/Settings  click on Settings, then choose the Checkout tab...do you have 'display prices with tax' turned on? this is the very top item... If so turn it off and save it...

I hope that is helpful.

Thank you to whomever found the bug....it turns out that it was as simple as that I had the country listed as United States instead of US...it had to be a 2 letter code.  As soon as I did that the Fedex shows up on the checkout shipping....

Many Thanks,

Lee and Abantecart,

Again very helpful and detailed infromation.  This is the kind of info that would be great to be right in the installation manuals or tutorials.  Being a novice at this I am pleased with the things I have been able to do, and look forward to learning more and more as time goes...

I checked and my hosting company provides ssl that will cover one domain.  I had not considered to do an add on (example.mydomain.com) I have set it up as (mydomain.com/store)..so I am sure that this will be covered by the one domain.

Thanks again,
David
