It is the first time I’m using SSL for a Drupal-based e-commerce shop.

I need to enable SSL only on the web shop pages, I’ve found this module for this: Secure Pages.

However I need to know what are exactly the steps I need to perform… should I first

1) Buy SSL certificate at hosting service

2) Enable it.. (Hosting services usually provide a specific folder for https pages. However I cannot split Drupal in two. So I was wondering if I have to copy the entire Drupal installation into this folder and then use Secure Pages to specify which pages should be protected and which pages not ?)

3) After this, am I done ? Or are there additional steps ?

    Step 1 and 2 are a must.

    Then you can choose from the following:

    1. Use Secure Pages http://drupal.org/project/securepages

    2. Change Drupal $base_url to https://

    3. If your on Apache Server you can use Apache’s mod_rewrite

      RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80

      RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R,L]
