More OSCommerce hell

[salewit]

This is a post a I placed on the OSCommerce forum, but I'm wondering if it may be more familiar here. This has been an ongoing OSCommerce setup fiasco for about a week and about 5 times deleting and starting all over.

I've been trying to set up my configuration files and having nothing but problems. Here's the situation. I'm creating a store on a multi-hosted account with a shared SSL. The store is in the root (not /catalog).

Path to store: www.trainvideodepot.com
SSL path to store: secure24.nocdirect.com/~lakeminn/trainvideodepot
File path to store: /home/lakeminn/public_html/trainvideodepot

Here's the pertinent part of my config:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.trainvideodepot.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure24.nocdirect.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'www.trainvideodepot.com');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_DOMAIN', 'secure24.nocdirect.com');
define('HTTP_COOKIE_PATH', '/');
define('HTTPS_COOKIE_PATH', '/~lakeminn/trainvideodepot/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG', '/');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~lakeminn/trainvideodepot/');
define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', '/home/lakeminn/public_html/trainvideodepot/');

Everything works up to a point. If I go to the store and try to log in, it switches to the secure mode. When I enter my account info, it gives me a 404 page not found error, but the URL is exactly right. I looked at the error log on the server, and there are no errors.

This is a live example. You can try this out yourself by trying to login with an e-mail of test@test.com and a password of "testpassword".

Thanks

Oh shoot... I neglected to update my post here. I posted the same thing on OSCommerce. After another 10 hour session, I finally figured it out. Sorry about that, and thanks for checking it.

If anyone else is having trouble,

define ('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure24.nocdirect.com');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/~acctid/catalog/');

doesn't work

define ('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure24.nocdirect.com/~acctid');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/catalog/');

doesn't work

define ('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://secure24.nocdirect.com/~acctid/catalog');
define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG', '/');

DOES work.

Weird, because the URL is constructed by adding those two together (HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG).

Weirder: If you let the guided setup fill in the URL for you, you'll get the 2nd example (which doesn't work on this server).

Weirderer: I have OSCommerce on another server with the 2nd example, and it works fine.

I think there's a hidden bug somewhere in the software.
