Need Help with Subdomains & SSL please

[Gunzanroses]

Ok, this is kinda tough for me to explain but i will do my best. Here is the thing, i have Zen-cart up and running fine with shared SSL. Everything works honky dory. What i would like to do is use a sub domain instead of the actual path. for example :

This Works :

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mywebsite.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://s.p7.hostingprod.com/@mywebsite.com/ssl
');

This Doesn't : (I get a "No input file specified." Error

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.mywebsite.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://s.p7.hostingprod.com/@secure.mywebsite.com
');

As you can see i would prefer using the sub domains because i basically have 3 different websites on one domain.

Right now i don't have the extra funds to buy a SSL certificate nor another two domains let alone groceries for the week Which is one of the very many reason i have come to love this wonderful open source product. It's free! So if any of you could maybe help me out with this, if its even possible, it would be very much appreciated. Thanks

Each hosts implementation of this can differ in subtle ways:

Where you have this working https://s.p7.hostingprod.com/@mywebsite.com/ssl
What if anything do you have in the /ssl directory?

Then in your sub-domain you do not have the /ssl appended to it
https:// s.p7.hostingprod.com/@secure.mywebsite.com

You might need to have this:
https:// s.p7.hostingprod.com/@secure.mywebsite.com/ssl

An alternative if your host allows this is to set this as an add-on Domain
As these are addressable directly as http:// my_domain.com

Wow, thanks much for the quick reply kobra. You nailed it right on the head! I needed to have the ssl folder not in the root directoy but as a child of the subdomain. Makes all the sense in the world to me now, and to think i only spent 6 hours trying to figure it out before coming here. Won't make that mistake again Thanks again kobra!!
