Installation among 2 servers (HTTP and HTTPS)

[tbiser]

My webhost offers SSL, but on a seperate server. Does anyone know of how to seperate osCommerce to accomidate this or is there a list of files which request SSL encryption? Or, am I better off finding another webhost? Installing this on my home Linux box was a breeze, but it's hell dealing with some of these webhosting companies. :yell: HELP!

I think the idea is like this:

 

http://mybox.com as normal server

 

https://www.myhosts.shared.cheapo.ssl/mybox as the SSL.

 

Then you drop in a copy of your site (or the exact files needed) in that directory that was appointed to you by your host.

 

do a cron copy once in a while assuming you choose a linux host.

Yeah, it's Linux. That sounds likes a good plan, then. Though, now I have to see if they'll let me create cron jobs. Wish me luck, and thanks for your help! :D

if you don't have shell access you can configure a good FTP client with scripting (WS_FTP Pro) to do the same.

 

Or write a php script that uses exec() or system()... that still might work with cp although they do not provide shell access.

Bbbbbeeee creative :)
