I started to install modernbill. I noticed that it had only worked if it was in the private_html dir instead of public_html if using https:// The only thing that i had noticed, when it tries to connect to itself using http:// it fails. What I am wondering is that is there any way to make it so u can use regular instead of a secure connection so if customers wanted to check their invoices they wouldn't have to use https:// and have the certificate window popup everytime.
 
I haven't studied the internals of ModernBill to know if it can be used on an insecure connection.

But I do know that it's certified for use with the various Credit Card issuers, and one of the requirements is that the transmission of credit card information always be secure. Also that the credit card information is stored securely on the server.

i've been on a view hosting companies, just to see how they had it. All of them, for their customers, used a regular connection such as http://www.hostingco.com/modernbill to view invoices and access the modernbill control panel. It's not a big deal, but was just a question. I did see a post of some code u can put in DA if you have your own SSL certificate to make it stop popping up which i could use if it gets too annoying.
 
Then it sounds as if the problem is that DA (similarly to Plesk) requires a separate directory for secure html files.

The easiest way to resolve the problem may be to create a symlink for your secure files.

There are several threads on the subject.

You can use the symlink, but you are asking for a lot of trouble if you have clients login to ModerbIll without a secure connection and would most certainly be in violation to Credit Card security protocols.
 
I did use a symlink and is working. Seems as tho even if you first use a regular http, modernbill itself will transfer to https automatically once logged in
