Setting up SSL on yahoo small business

I have searched all the SSL/HTTPS forum pages, and I cant find any information on it.
Has anyone dealt with using SSL on yahoo small business servers?

The front side (customer side)works great with the SSL.

my problem comes on the admin side..
when I try to logon (and yes the https is working to the log on page), it just refreshes the the page, with a new zenAdminID=........ id here......
the link i have set the configuration files for is as follows.

Sorry, I don't know the specific solution to your issue, but I can help solve it - don't use Yahoo Small Business hosting. They're expensive, their terms are deceptive, and, as you've discovered, their server configurations are non-standard. You can do a lot better all around with a different host.

Re: Setting up SSL on yahoo small business

Yahoo Small Business should rather be marketed as Yahoo Big Confidence Trick... especially if you are trying to host a decent CMS. Yahoo is not the right enviromnent for zencart (or any other sophisticated CMS, for that matter.)

You pay LARGE sums of money (remember... yahoo is technically insolvent, so needs your cash) and you get nothing in return.

You should move to a proper host.
