CubeCart can be set to run in SSL mode. As SSL is very server intensive only parts of your store will run using it. These include payment pages, administration and registration etc.
Log into the admin side of your store.
e.g. http://www.example.com/store/admin
Once in click the "General Settings" link under the Store Config Section and scroll down to the Directories & Folders section. Here you will be presented with some text boxes and a drop down menu to enable SSL mode.
1. Root SECURE Public HTML Folder to store: (Include Trailing Slash).
This is the server folder path from the end of your secure domain name.
e.g.
Private SSL: /store/
2. Absolute SECURE URL to store: (Excluding Trailing Slash)
This is the full address you woudl type in the browser to access
your store under SSL.
e.g.
Private SSL: https://www.example.com/store
3. Server SECURE Root Directory: (THIS IS NOT REQUIRED FROM 3.0.11 ON)
This is the complete path on your server to your store. It may not be obvious if you do not have root access to the webserver (typical in shared hosting accounts).
e.g.
/path/to/public_html/store
If you have no idea what this is we recommend downloading the file includes/global.inc.php from your server and entering the same value displayed in $glob['rootDir']. Double check all the values entered and once happy use the drop down menu to enable SSL. Then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the "Update Settings" button. If you have entered the information correctly you store should now be functioning with secure transactions. Sometimes users enter the information wrong or there is some other problem.
If this is the case please have a look at the folowing article:
