How to change configuration for https/http

[david4514]

Currently, one of the websites that I help maintain is setup so that:

http://www.mydom.com pages from /big/dom/xmydom/www
https://www.mydom.com pages from /big/dom/xmydom/www/Secure_Server

At some point in the next few months we are going to completely redo our website. At that time we would like both http: and https: to be directed to the same directory (/big/dom/xmydom/www).

Can this be done? Is there a fee for the change? Can it be scheduled to happen at (or at least near) a given point in time? This is not a critical website so some down time is acceptable for the change.

Thanks

David - drop the support desk an email with your request.

Thanks,

I'll do that. I was just hoping for a generic answer which might be of interest to others.

Hello,

At that time we would like both http: and https: to be directed to the same directory (/big/dom/xmydom/www).

Can this be done? Is there a fee for the change?

SSL can be mapped to the /www directory however note that the address that can be used to access SSL must match the Certificate.

So if your certificate is issued for secure.mydom.com then you would still have to use https://secure.mydom.com/ to access the Secure site without errors being thrown..

There is no charge for this change, in fact SSL Activation Letters carry this:

" ** Note: on request the Document Root can be changed to
/big/dom/<Xmydom>/www "

Can it be scheduled to happen at (or at least near) a given point in time?

If you send a request we can usually have the mapping change done within 24 hours after receiving the request.

Bob, Thanks. The certificate matches the domain that we will be using. I'll schedule the change when we are ready.
