IN this case, all you need to do is reference to it as https://secureserveraddress/filename.php First of all, we need to understand this. We have two seperate servers here, the unix server that apache is running on and the apache server (this runs PHP, the secure server etc) itself. So... your normal website (served by the apache server) is at http://mywebsite.com/files.php BUT 'files.php' is located ON THE UNIX SERVER as /var/www/html/files.php The /var/www/html/ is the UNIX path to the file. The users who are using your APACHE server to get file do not see this in anyway. All they see is what is in the root directory, ie, /var/www/html from http://mywebsite.com/, this is exactly the same for the secure server, except the served files are encrypted. Success in this depends on what you are trying to do. Are you trying to secure files that contain information like your database passwords? Or are you just trying to run PHP scripts that produce HTML on a secure server (so that you can take credit card details from the remote users?). If you are trying to hide scripts with important information (ie, passwords) then running a secure server will not work. They will STILL be available from the internet, just at https://mywebsite/myfilewithapassword.php. This is not easily explained and I don't want to spend time going into it if its not what you're after, but if this is what you are doing, let me know and I'll help out. If you are just trying to encrypted the data from the server to the user, then you are doing the right thing, you just need to lose the /var/www/secure/ in the https:// address. > Obviously it's goes to DOCUMENT_ROOT (pre-pending the/var/www/html) and adds > what I've asked for.
