I have setup a "secure" webroot which contains one dir for each host..

What you want to do is set up a wild card certificate. Unfortunately I don't personally know how but I've used them before and they work exactly as you describe.

[expert] providing an SSL and non SSL way of accessing each domains www and cgi-bin.
Hi guys, I have about two dozen virtual named hosts setup on my server. all with their own domain or sub domain and thats all working fine (apache2 mdk9.2) I also have a SSL cert seton on one subdomain, secure.mydomain.com Now I want to give people a way of accessing their www and cgi-bin from either their own domain (which is as it is now) or via the https://secure.x.com domain... so it would work like this: http://their-domain.com/cgi-bin/somefile.pl would be accessing the same file as: https://secure.my-domain.com/username/cgi-bin/somefile.pl accept the first one is just normal HTTP 1.1 and the second would be SSL.. That way people who need to, can make use of the cert.. Is there a way to do this??? I realise the probs with virt named hosting and SSL.. but what I am asking is not releated to that.. I do not want to setup SSL on the vhost, I want to create a way for vhost users to access their web files from my ssh secure domain name, as well as their own domain name.. have I explained what I mean well enough to be understood??? Anyone got any tips on this?? I know it can be done because alot of online hosts offer it.. I'm just not sure how.. I had created a cgi-bin for each user in the secure.xxx.com doc root and symlinked it to their normal web dir.. but their has to be an easier way.. ( I have only a dozen vhosts now, but thats likely to grow pretty quickly.) Any ideas guys??? much appreciated. rgds Franki -- Please sign our petition to encourage notebook manufacturers to offer video card upgrades just like desktops. http://www.petitiononline.com/inspiron/petition.html For free scripts, online webmaster tools, HTML, XHTML, Perl & PHP tutorials and stuff, visit: http://htmlfixit.com, Free web developer resources.
