Re: [mv] Can you tell me a setup procedure for SSL

This one threw me too :o)
It's funny how simple it is! Once the secure-server software is running on your machine, assuming that's how you're doing it, you make the change in your catalog.cfg "SecureURL" becomes "https..." instead of "http" as follows:

########### SecureURL
##
## Default: blank
#
# If you are using an SSL or Secure HTTP server, this is the URL
# which will be used for processing orders securely.  For SSL, it
# is usually the same URL as normal, except that it uses
# 'https' instead of 'http'. Add the 'https' if you have a
# secure server.
#
#SecureURL               https://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__
SecureURL               https://__SERVER_NAME____CGI_URL__

Now just call one of your pages with a browser, but add the 's' to 'http' in the URL.... and see the magic!
(Oh yeah, you'll need a digital certificate. Real or 'fake')

If that's any clearer than mud, I'm glad. Be happy to elaborate if you wish. Also, see the variable 'AlwaysSecure' in catalog.cfg.

HTH,
