2.13.4.8. Setting up HTTPS in OpenCart

1. Check the presence of an installed SSL certificate in SSL settings... If the certificate is missing, install his.
2. Edit two config files:
   1. In file config.phphosted in root directory site, find the line with the parameter HTTPS_SERVER:

      // HTTPS
      define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://example.com/');

      Replace the HTTP address specified in it with HTTPS so that it looks like this:

      // HTTPS
      define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://example.com/');

   2. In file config.phplocated in the catalog admin, find the lines with parameters HTTPS_SERVER and HTTPS_CATALOG:

      // HTTPS
      define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://example.com/admin/');
      define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'http://example.com/');

      Replace the HTTP addresses listed in them with HTTPS, so that in the end they look like this:

      // HTTPS
      define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://example.com/admin/');
      define('HTTPS_CATALOG', 'https://example.com/');
