Guest AllyEJ Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 New installation (Version 3), help please.... I don't understand as I'm new to this. Directories & Folders Root SECURE Public HTML Folder to store: (Include Trailing Slash) ? Absolute SECURE URL to store: e.g. https://secure.domain.com ? Server SECURE Root Directory: e.g. /path/to/your/secure/webstore ? Enable SSL: (Warning: This change takes place immediately after submit. Please ensure your secure Root Directory and Secure URL are correct and working before setting this to Yes) ? I used to have someone handle this for me but as I'm now left to do it myself, I have no idea in lamens terms as to what it wants. The store is directly under my domain name but under a shared hosting of my other site with a main domain. Please help me to understand. Thank you, Ally.

Robsta Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 It's for SSL. If you're not using SSL, then ignore it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Root SECURE Public HTML Folder to store: This is that part of your store's public address after the domain name part. For example: Domain Part -> https://www.mystore.com <- followed by the folder(s) that house your actual store -> /mystore/ <- The 'root to store folder' path is used by certain parts of the program. Absolute SECURE URL to store: This is the whole address. For example: https://www.mystore.com/mystore This address is used by other parts of the program. Server SECURE Root Directory: This is where your installation's code sits as you would find it looking at Windows Explorer or from some other directory listing command you would use at the computer's desktop/console. For example: E:\\\\Inetpub\\\\wwwroot\\\\allysites\\\\webstore (The quad backslashes is how to specify a directory path on Windows.) This path is used by those parts of the program that fetch and save images, config files, etc. Enable SSL: Do not switch this ON until you have a Security Certificate installed (usually a job for your host) and you have tested the site by manually entering https:// to get to your store admin logon page.
