I've never used SSL before and have some basic questions. I bought an SSL certificate and asked my hosting company to generate the CSR.
In response they sent a form asking for basic information, but the first line of the form was:
Host to make cert for :
secure.mydomain.com
This looks like a subdomain. If so, will I have to duplicate my ZC folder into the 'secure' folder?
I've already used close to half my server space on my ZC folder, so if I have to duplicate it I will need more server space.
Or can I use a redirect or rewrite?
I've searched through the forum here and found this message:
As you are using one of those antiquated two-folder systems (one for http and another for https) then to secure all of 'admin' behind ssl only have the 'admin' folder in the httpsdocs folder and delete it from the httpdocs folder.
This seems to imply that I don't have to have the
whole ZC directory in the secure folder. Is that right?
Is my hosting company antiquated?
