problems with account, Checkout, log in

[KCount]

I recently switched over taking credit cards on line and obviously need to secure my site. Unfortunately this has shut my site down.. or at least stopped the processing of orders. Here's the problem.

Site functions well on any http page, but the moment I move to an https page it hangs and fails to find the page.

I have my own SSL cert via cacert.org

I am Running Apache 2 on a win 2003 server platform. My configs are:

catalog/includes/config.php

I host the site myself so obviously changing what ever files is not a concern.

Any help is always appreciated.

you need to either:

1. symlink your http and https docs folders
or
2. copy all files to both directories.

Natively windows does not support symlinking but there are ways around it. There are a couple of files in the Win2K Resource Kit called linkd.exe and delrp.exe. These might do the trick for you, there is a MS tech note on it here, http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q205524 This mehtod only works for symlinking folders and not files, but it should get you started.

Better yet, if your going to host, do the right thing and host LINUX :P
