It took me some time to find out why SSL was not working. I had an installed security certificate but I was not getting the little green security lock icon and my checkout pages were not using HTTPS:// locations.
I edited config.php and admin/config.php
In both you just need to change the http://YOUR-URL to https://
// HTTPS
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://YOUR-URL/admin/');
define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://YOUR-URL/');
Then in settings you need to enable SSL
STILL…. SSL was not working. After some digging I found there are 2 more files that need editing
system/config/catalog.php
system/config/admin.php
In both you need to change the following:
$_['site_ssl'] = false;
To:
$_['site_ssl'] = true;
That’s it!
Hi, great fix. Just wondered will this fix just the checkout pages or make all the sites pages https://….i am looking to only make the checkout pages secure. Thanks
