abantecart:
Let's be on the same page here. Do you we still refer to installation steps?  There 2 sides of the coin here.
1. To make installation easy and pleasant experience
2. To make installation secure and cover all possible aspects for miss configured SSL. Not everyone have SSL configured properly right at the start.

#2 can cause problems in installation if there is SSL issues on the server prior to installation and that effects #1.

For now, to get maximum security at installation, provided data can be temporary and later changed in configuration file, when moved to production. This is discretionary to individual security policy.

Finely, I agree to add option with SSL enabled installation in the future after number of different testes.

Nimitz1061:
Well, I was more focused on the access to the admin index page - but its equally easy for an installing technician to assure that SSL is operational before the installer is even run. 

Installation should be done by people with at least some basic knowledge.  I see this as part of the customer qualification process.  If a customer can't tell when they have a secure connection, they're not qualified to operate a secure site - which are the only ones I want to host...

CutiePengu:
I am on the dashboard, but I have 2 messages that are giving me errors.  They both tell me that:

1.  /home/squeakey/public_html/AbanteCart/cutie/system/config.php file needs to be set to read and execute modes (644 or 755) to keep it secured from editing!

and

2.  /home/squeakey/public_html/AbanteCart/cutie/index.php file is writable. It is recommended to set read and execute modes (644 or 755) for this file to keep it secured and running properly!

I do not see where I can fix these two errors so that I can do something with the app.  Can anyone help please?

This is an install from my sites cPanel page so I did not have to fill in anything except for my login information that I wanted and the address where I wanted it to be at.  This is from the "messages" page.  I can't get onto any other page.  When I try to go to them (dashboard included) I get the "ERROR 403 FORBIDDEN" page.

Any help is much appreciated.

These "warnings" seems to have popped up in 1.2.4.  You can disable these checks with instructions in link above.  They don't seem to be hard errors and maybe a half attempt to lock down security a bit more.

CutiePengu:
the problem now is i can't even login at all....what happened?  the page won't even load now...grrrr

and, for some reason i can't get into my cPanel page either now

ok, got into the cPanel page again, but every time I try to change the area that it says to change, the page keeps refreshing to the 403 error page before I can even scroll the page to find what i need to find....it only gives me about 3 seconds to find something and I can't do anything in that short of time

was finally able to click on the "disable" and save it, but its still doing it.  it won't load.  it keeps going to 403 error page
