XinXang Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 from configure.php // eg, https://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers What is "productive servers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterr Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hi, You can only have an SSL connection to a domain, because you buy the certificate for a domain, or sub domain. These are "productive servers", whereas "localhost" is not a domain. These are mostly my assumptions, I stand to be corrected. :D Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody outside your machine can access that so don't use that for production server. Treasurer MFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XinXang Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 I think I undterstand. It just means that this localhost reference will only be understood by the script which is running locally, and if the server will be used for professional purposes, then this should NOT be set to localhost? Or can it be set to localhost even for a production server, does setting it to http://localhost fulfill the requirement of the field not being empty?
