More shared SSL help please!

I searched through the old postings and can't come up with a definitive answer for my problem. I apologize for bringing up this issue again, but I would appreciate some input.

 

My webhost offers shared SSL in which I *must* place the files I want secure into a specified directory. Currently, I have everthing working OK on a nonsecure server. The webhost has a 1MB quota on this particular secure directory.

 

My questions are:

 

1. do I have to upload the entire "catalog" directory from my non-secure server into that particular secure directory?

 

2. if I do not have to copy the entire catalog directory, is it sufficient to copy only the files related to checkingout?? ie. checkout_payment.php ?? If not, what other related files are necessary?

 

I'm only concerned about having things use SSL whenever a customer enters their credit card info..everything else can be on the non-secure server.

 

I attempted to upload my entire catalog directory into that secure directory this evening, but ran into quota problems. If I were to leave all my images on the non-secure server...what problems would I face? I'm not sure how to proceed at the moment, so if anyone can help with some advice, it would be appreciated.

 

Thank you.

Just out of curiousity...what host are you using?

 

Many hosts make you use https://www.somedomain.com/~yourusername

 

 

This doesn't mean that you have to put all the files in a new directory, but rather you access and link to your files through this url.

 

For example, if you want to go to http://www.yourdomain.com/secure-fille.html

 

you would link to:

 

https://www.somedomain.com/~username/secure-file.html

 

You don't, however, have to actually upload that file to a new directory. Just use the new url. Hope this is your case....if not let me know.

Chris,

 

From my emails with their help/tech support I am told to do the following:

 

1. transfer the files that I want secure into a particular directory that they have specified. (I made sure and ask them whether files have to be copied/transfered, and they confirmed - yes)

 

2. use https://secure.myhost.com/~myname/filename

 

I've tried to upload only checkout_payment into the secure server and then in configure.php on the non-secure server, I've set the appropriate lines to use the secure server.

 

I tested it by going tothe checkout page and this is what happens:

 

- checkout_payment is secure, as indicated with the little lock BUT nothign shows up on the page! I just get a blank, white page...
