Set Up Store for Live Production

The following discussion summarizes how to set your store site for live production.

To accomplish the set up,

  1. Obtain an SSL Certificate and install it in the web server. If this is your first time to do this, we recommend that you try StartCom’s Free SSL service. SSL certificate in this site is provided free of charge to anyone who wants to enable an online business. See also: Get an SSL Certification

  2. Open the Application Configuration. Go to eCommerce module > Setup and select Application Configuration option.The Application Configuration will be displayed.


  3. Set the following appconfig parameters:

    • UseSSL = true
      This invokes the SSL security to work in the website and runs the website in a secured internet protocol (https).

      Make sure that you have the SSL certificate installed in the server before enabling the UseSSL appconfig. You will know if the SSL certificate is installed if you are able to open your webstore page using the https protocol (https://yourdomain.com).


    • RedirectLiveToWWW = true
      If set to true, whenever users type in http://yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com, the default page will redirect to http://www.yourdomain.com. This help prevent users from bookmarking the site without www if you enabled.

    • LiveServer = < site’s domain name >
      This specifies the domain of the live site being created. Just indicate the specifications for yourdomain.com. (e.g. InterpriseSuiteECommerce.com)
