symbolic links to SSL?

[Monty]

one of my accounts is asking for a symbolic link to the secure portion of their site to a /store directory in the www section. First question, is this OK with FutureQuest? If so, then how do I go about doing it? I found 2 threads searching that touched on it, but they were not clear in the process (at least not understandable to me.

TIA,

Mont

If you have some secure pages located at:

/big/dom/xdomain/www/Secure_Server/mystore

Then you can provide a symbolic link to this are from the non-secure area:

cd /big/dom/xdomain/www
ln -s Secure_Server/mystore mystore

Now "mystore" is available in NON-SSL mode using this URL:

http://www.mydomain.com/mystore/

or in SSL mode:

https://secure.mydomain.com/mystore/

Note that you cannot create a symbolic link from within the secure area to somewhere outside it as this would break the SSL connection.

thanks Rich, let me get with my guy and see if that's what he is wanting for his store.
