Re: [cobalt-users] miva and it's ssl settings.

Thanks  bill, I got it.
I think anyone using RAQ2 and MIVA, should print out your instruction.
you explained it very nice.
now my MIVA is running in ssl.
Thanks again.

<< We are using a slightly different configuration info then you have in your
 httpd.conf but I'm going assume the following.
 The your  SSL virtually hosted sites are working properly right now and you
 can get the lock (SSL) by typing https://www.blahblah.com. We got ssl and
 our miva sites secure this past weekend and we're surprised to see Miva crap
 out once you hit checkout. So , I'm assuming that it's the same problem that
 we had.
 After a few calls to tech support we talked to the right guy. The problem
 has to do with the way you set up Miva in the first place to get it to run
 on the RAQ2.
 
 1. Telnet in as admin
 su -
 2. In the ' /home/sites/home/miva-bin  'directory
 cp miva smiva
 3. in the  /etc
 cp miva.conf smiva.conf
 comment out ServerUserId
 4. in the  /etc/httpd/conf directory
 vi srm.conf and copy all of the Miva Configuration data
 at the end of the file.
 5. vi srm-ssl.conf and paste the Miva Config data from step 4.
 This file should be mostly empty before you paste into it.
 Change the last line of the pasted data ( from step 5 ) to
 Action application /x-miva/miva-bin/smiva
 NOTICE THE SMIVA at the end - that is the change! miva to smiva
 6. In Miva merchant admin.mv
 Make sure you change all of the secure paths to
 https://www.yourdomain.com/Merchant/merchant.mv , etc.
 Don't forget the secure paths to graphics and administration - they are
 exactly the same except for the HTTPS instead of HTTP
 
 7. In the "Modules" section click on the link to 'Modules Path'  and enter
 the same
 info as the top field into the "Secure Root Directory for Modules" field.
 '/modules/' for me.
 
 If all goes well everything should work. Log out of Miva admin and log back
 in - you should see a 'Log-in Securely" link above the user name field.
 
 I would assume that the reason there is no appropriate FAQ for the above is
 that you are editing system files and Miva's association with Cobalt must
 prohibit them from giving out info that might void your warranty. SO --- USE
 THE ABOVE AT YOUR OWN RISK!
 
 Hope this helps.
 
 Bill
