Changing Site Url

I have had to change my site URL to the one given with our free SSL certificate to enable the checkout system to function properly (i.e. the SSL URL is different to our main website URL). Does anyone know where to change the stored site URL in the Sytist files so this new address is given in e-mails etc to the customer. I am working with Sytist in a sub folder - not in the root.

You really don't need to change anything because the URL is based on what is in the address bar. So if you are using something.host.com/something, then that will be the URL instead of your domain.

To follow that up, you will also need to use the same URL when using the admin area.

Hi Tim,

It's the e-mails to customers I wish to change. The e-mail text below was sent as part of a test order - placed via the secure url. It seems the e-mail system is picking up the original url when I installed sytist.

Did you by chance code in a value for $setup['url'] in your sy-config.php file?

It should be :
$setup['url'] = "http://".$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']."";

Nope - that is exactly how it looks. Could it be picking up the non-https site url somehow? My SSL folder is a shared folder - so I guess it is internally linked to my http site somehow.

Would it be easier if i used a httaccess redirect from the Sytist folder to the https site? Then the given addresses would not matter (I think) I just want to make sure that all access to Sytist is via the https address.

If you place a test order starting on https://secure56.prositehosting.co.uk/sytist1/ .... do you get the same links in the email and does it try to change you to your domain in the address bar?

Hi Tim, Just tried it again - making totally sure the address in the bar is the secure56 site all the way through the checkout (and it was). The order confirmation e-mails sent out to me and the customer still show the http://codsallphotographic.com/sytist1 address.

First check and make sure you didn't hard code those links in the default emails.

Then in the sy-config.php file., change the $setup['url'] to the following and see if that works:

$setup['url'] = "https://secure56.prositehosting.co.uk";
