SSL HTTPS questions

[xhenxhe]

I've been reading the instructions to set up ssl at http://www.site-helper.com/ssl.html

It says: All secure files need to be uploaded to the /domains/domain.com/private_html directory.

My question is this: I've seen sites that allow you to change http:// to https:// and it reads the same pages, but secures the https request. Is this possible on DA?

nevermind, I found the answer here:

I tried this with the link command but not the ln command. Oops!

Now, is there a way to make the security cert to work whether or not they add the 'www'?

You may be able to do this with a wildcard Certificate; they're very expensive. Ask your Certificate supplier if they'll work both with and without a subdomain name, as I'm not sure and I cannot guarantee they will.

Or you can create an .htaccess file so if the user types in the domain without the www it gets rewritten as www.
