Re: separate secure directory
Try this...
I had a similar problem on another provider before I moved to
Korksoft. WHen I didn't have a SSL cert myself I had to use
theres..
so mine was
www.abc.com
theres was secure.foo.bar/abc that pointed to my directory
so I set up this a ln -s directory that pointed to the root of my home
directory called abc, so www.abc.com/abc was the same in reality
as www.abc.com and secure.foo.bar/abc
I told mvend that the catalog resided in the abc directory in my
home directory (which in reality was my home directory).
I hope this helps some.
