Greetings:

I have a SSL Cert. for secure.bizpress.net and note that I get a directory in my www directory that is the secure directory for secure.bizpress.net.

My question is there a simply or clever way of putting the online forms I want to be SSL without having to copy the entire website again in the secure directory to avoid the SSL warning that says "connection partially encrypted?"

If a form that I have added to my secure directory opens the standard header and footer information which goes outside the folder, for example the logo which is stored in another directory outside the SSL directory I get the "partially encrypted"

Appreciate any comments or input. Not sure what the standard technique is used on the web for having ssl and the rest of your site. It would be great if the entire site was just SSL but not sure why that it isn't done that way.

Thanks again.

Joseph

It really depends on what how you want to organize the site, but most simply, you could have FQ overlay the SSL access over your www/ directory instead of pointing it to www/Secure_Server/. As long as you have relative image references in your HTML docs (i.e., not pointing to http://), you would then not get the warning.

You may also be able to use symlinks to accomplish what you want. See knowledge base for more info (search for: symbolic links).

I do have a post here in the forums where I discuss using symlinks for this purpose. Perhaps it will be of some use?
