Re: separate secure directory
Um.. does tlink or vlink have to be in cgi-bin?? Right now I got both tlink and
vlink in ~/mvend/bin and nowhere else. Simple catalog works just fine (except
for ssl). Am I missing something?
In short, my setup is:
https://secure.sandwich.net/sil is my secure URL
http://sil.sandwich.net is my normal URL
/home/sil/securedocs is my secure document location
/home/sil/webdocs is my normal document location
there are no cgi-bins, scripts run from anywhere provided they have .cgi
extention.
/home/sil/webdocs/simple.cgi is simple catalog
now, the problem is that I can tell minivend where my docroot is (~/webdocs), I
can tell mvend where secure URL is, I can also tell it where normal URL is. All
of that is in catalog.cfg. BUT I can't tell mvend where the secure
docroot is (~/securedocs). When I try to checkout in simple catalog, it goes to
secure URL and web server looks in ~/securedocs and doesn't find anything there
because docroot defined in mvend is ~/webdocs and thats where simple catalog
pages are. As far as I understand, usual setup implies that there's one
docroot, for both secure and normal pages, ie when web server sees secure URL
it goes to look for requested pages in normal docroot, but encrypts them with
SSL. In this case, not only secure URL is different, but location for secure
docs is also different. The question is, if I just copy catalog to secure
docroot, will it be able to 'synchronize' them correctly? Or should I look for
a new webspace provider? :)
