Shared SSL, two servers, config help?

**toriapilar** · 2 Jan 2007, 05:48 PM

Hello everyone
have realised my first post doesn't make much sense so am trying again. I'm trying to install zencart on easyspace with shared SSL on a different server.
Easyspace won't set the thing up so that I can share secure and non-secure docs from one folder, so I need to clone my site on the secure server. I tried this and get 'page not found' errors.
if I switch ssl off, everything works fine - so I'm pretty certain its a config file problem. As it stands, the config files are identical on both servers - which is obviously not right.
I'm pretty new to all this web stuff and haven't a clue how to change the config files
can anyone help?

in a previous post about shared SSL and plesk, Vger suggests a vhost_ssl.conf file with some code listed, but I have no ideal where to put this
I'm desperate to get this sorted quickly as my web shop is about 6 months late now and I'm running out of time and money
cheers

Toria - I suspect the reason you got no reply to your earlier post is two-fold:

1. Some folks are still recovering from New Years.
2. It's not going to work, for oh so many reasons.

You have a choice - either run the shop without ssl, go for a full ssl cert on the same server, or go elsewhere.

There's another company, much larger than Easy Space, that has this setup, shared ssl on a different server, and no one I know of has been able to get shopping carts to work on their shared ssl - and so I suspect the same is true of Easy Space.

Hello Vger
thanks for your reply - I'd already figured out that if it was this difficult it wasn't going to be viable - i found another thread that talked about having to manually link images between cloned sites and all sorts of other boring stuff -
and I'd also worked out that if you couldn't give me an easy answer, no-one could - I'd spotted your moniker both here and on the oscommerce forum.
I didn't want to change hosting as I've spent alot of money with them, and they are likely to charge to change domains - but then, I'm potentially losing money for each day the site doesn't work ...so i've put in hand to change hosting to a more zen-friendly company - looks like from the link at the bottom of your post, I've chosen yours!! (oooh creepy crawly!)

looking forward to getting this cart going - it looks like it will be wicked
cheers
