Guest Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Hello All Ive been playing around with his for a couple days and Im just not seeing how this ssh stuff is supposed to work Ive setup the server and certs , everthing seems to be working ok. When i rerun the the install and point it to the shared ssl server , all the secure links in the store change (logon.php) to the secure site which seems ok. The secure site works(i can install a stupid hello.html page and it comes up fine) It seems to me I have to copy some files into the secure directory on the web server , so I copied logon.php from the \public to the \secure , and now it comes up blank rather than page not found so it seems to do something. Is there a list of files I need to copy to the secure directory or can I just copy the whole darn thing there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥Vger Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 Probably explains why they are none too keen to oblige when folks ask them to symlink the httpsdocs to httpdocs.
