i set SSL for doamin with dedicated IP and see subdomain of that domain can use SSL.

BUT THERE IS A NEW PROBLEM.

I want to install a PHP portal and i want portal to work with both HTTPS and HTTP.
but
i saw this link:
http://www.site-helper.com/ssl.html



Uploading Files to your Secure Site



All secure files need to be uploaded to the /domains/domain.com/private_html directory. You may upload using the control panel's built-in file manager or FTP. For example,



/domains/domain.com/private_html/index.html ---> https://www.yourdomain.com/index.html

/domains/domain.com/private_html/secure/index.html ---> https://www.yourdomain.com/secure/index.html



The private_html directory operates the exact same way as the public_html directory.



Note: You will not see a private_html directory if the SSL feature isn't enabled on your account.


please tell me where i should place my portal (noah's classifieds)?

You can tick "Use a symbolic link from private_html to public_html" (allows for same data in http and https)....... Not sure about sub-domains, unless its a wildcard cert.

thanks
but where is "Use a symbolic link from private_html to public_html" option?

[Peter Laws]

Domain Setup at user level, then click the required domain

if you want to use multiple SSL, i advise to use a *.wildcard SSL

please. say me what it is?

[Peter Laws]

please. say me what it is?
A wildcard certificate for *.example.com will secure www.example.com, mail.example.com, help.example.com and any other first-level subdomain of example.com.

Thanks.
please tell me how i can set it in user panel?

Setup the certificate (here (http://www.site-helper.com/ssl.html#install))? Or buy a wildcard certificate?

[WebArts]

if i make wildcard SSL then should i make a wildcard DNS?

[nobaloney]

The purpose of a Wildcard Secure Site Certificate is to cover multiple subdomain names (for example, www.example.com and sub.example.com). I haven't tested whether Certificates work with subdomains or not, so I don't know if a Wildcard Secure Site Certificate will automatically work with a subdomain or not; it may require that the subdomain be separately created as a separate site, in which case it would require a separate IP# and a separate complete setup, and making it work with both http and https would be more complex.

You certainly don't need and likely shouldn't have Wildcard DNS; it has nothing to do with the Certificate.
