Authors list

Intro

 

When you first sign up for FGX-Web you will be directed to the Secure Seal Configuration Wizard. This wizard will guide you through the steps you need to install the Secure Seal on your website.


 

Once you understand what the Secure Seal does – click ‘Get Started.’

 

Step 1

 

Here you can choose what technology your website runs on. There are 5 options presented to you:

  1. PHP - If you are using a Linux host you will find most sites run on PHP or are able to run PHP scripts, choose this one if you are unsure. You will need to upload the file to the root of your webserver and using your FTP client will be the best method.
  2. ASP classic - If you are using windows as your host and have classic ASP enabled you will need this TAG. You will need to upload the file to the root of your webserver and using your FTP client will be the best method.
  3. ASP.net – If you are using windows as your host you will need this TAG. You will need to upload the file to the root of your webserver and using your FTP client will be the best method.
  4. Magento1 - Magento is an ecommerce platform that can run on Windows or Linux hosts, this plug in will work on both. You will need to use the plug in manager on Magento to install this plug in. This plugin will work on Magento v1.X
  5. Magento2 – The Magento2 seal is for clients who are running Magento v2.X

To download the correct version of the Seal just click on the technology that your site uses. If you are unsure please check with your hosting provider as they will know what platform your site is running on, or contact support@foregenix.com for assistance. This guide will talk you through the PHP installation.

 

PHP Tag

 

If you are using a Linux host you will find most sites run on PHP or are able to run PHP scripts, choose this one if you are unsure. The first step in this installation would be to download the seal. The seal can be downloaded using your user account from the FGX-Web portal. In this case you would need to select and download the PHP seal.


 

Step 2

 

The next step is to upload this PHP seal to your websites web root, typically found at the public_html folder. This can be done in two ways:

  1. Upload via your hosting site – depending on your hosting provider this is typically accessible by a Control panel from within your hosting account.
  2. Upload via FTP/SFTP connection – Some customers have FTP/SFTP access to their sites in order to upload files to their website, the PHP can be uploaded this way as well.


 

Step 3

 

Once the seal is in place on your websites root directory you will then need to head back to the FGX-Web portal in order to validate the seal. Simply click this button to validate the seal.


 

If the seal has been installed in the correct place then the seal should validate. However if it doesn’t validate please contact our support team at support@foregenix.com for assistance.
