Hi! I've set up and have been using OS Commerce for a couple of months now. I've been using Paypal and am about to switch completely to Authorize.Net, but I'm trying to figure out what to put in my secure directory? Should I add the whole shopping cart there, or should only certain directories and files go in there? What performance issues will I face if everything goes in that directory?

Thank you!
Chris

Oh, you're on one of those horrid hosts that makes you put SSL-served files in a separate directory? Sigh. It's probably simplest to just duplicate everything into the "secure" directory, but this will complicate maintenance. You don't want to require SSL for everything.

Hmm,

Looking at the same problem.
I'm trtying the Engarde Secure Linux Community distro as an OS for my own server. Engarde also creates different dirs for secure and non secure.

Like:
./home/mysite.com-80/httpd/
./home/mysite.com-443/httpd/

This won't work for OSC without modifications.

Haven't figured out how to do this. Maybe create an alias through the 'ln' command? My linux/Unix knowledge is rather limited....

Any input is welcome!

Regards!
Erwin.

yeah, just create a sym link to the dir with your files in it to the ssl dir.

ln -s /home/www-80/public_html /home/ssl-443/public_html

For my Engarde linux setup I found an 'easy' solution:
I edited the config file that links the different virtual hosts (eg. SSL and non-SSL) to different directories.
The Engarde webtool doens't let me do this. So I have my normal site (mysite-port80) look at the directories of the secure mysite-port443. Have to do it this way because the SSL dir with the certificate keys are in the secure webdirectories.

Hope this helps someone.
