Configuring the path settings for StoreFront
The StoreFront
application needs to know the Internet address of the web it is
operating in and the location of the web's secure location.
Follow the instructions below to configure your path settings.
-
From the Store
Builder window, click the Web Manager option. When the
Web Manager opens, click on the General tab as shown
below:

-
You will see
input fields for Web Site Location and Secure
Directory Location. These are the two paths you must
provide.
1. Web Site Location:
This path should be set to the URL of the web or subweb that
contains your StoreFront web. This path must begin with
"http://" and should end with a forward slash "/", and not a
file name. Follow the examples below:
Correct Paths:
http://www.yoursfweb.com/
http://www.yoursfweb.com/yoursubweb/
http://localhost/yourwebname/
Incorrect Paths:
www.yoursfweb.com
http://www.yoursfweb.com/default.htm
http://www.yoursfweb.com/yoursubweb/file.asp
2. Secure
Directory Location:
This path should be the complete URL of the process_order.asp
file in your SSL-secured location. It is where your customers
will submit their shipping and billing information during the
check-out process. Make sure that this path is a complete URL
with a https:// prefix. (The https:// tells the browser to
transfer information in an encrypted form under the Secure
Sockets Layer. Follow the examples below:
https://www.yourweb.com/ssl/process_order.asp
https://secure.yourhost.com/yoursecuresubweb/process_order.asp
NOTE: If you're developing a local site you don't need
to worry about SSL. So, enter "http://" instead of "https://"
for the URL prefix. Your Secure Directory Location
should just be the path to the process_order.asp file in
your local web, for example:
http://localhost/yourwebname/SSL/process_order.asp
-
After you have
entered the URLs for the Web Site Location and
Secure Directory Path, click File then choose Save
to save the changes to these settings.
You are now ready to build and test the product pages. If you're
in a hurry, you may want to dynamically generate product pages.
If you want as much design control as possible, you may wish to
create your own product pages manually. Please refer to your
StoreFront manual or help guide for more information on creating
pages for your store.
