title

Drupal, Securepages and Secure Certificates

body

I think that I have finally determined a solution that works for the sites I maintain. This seems to solve almost all the problems that I have encountered: <ol> <li>Install the non-ssl site in the sites directory: nonsecure.example.com</li> <li>Create a new directory in /sites/ for the ssl site: secure.example.com</li> <li>Copy the settings file from the nonsecure to the secure directory. Change the base_url to be the secure site's URL</li> <li>Create symlinks FROM the nonsecure directory to the secure directory:</li> <li>ln -s nonsecure.example.com/themes secure.example.com/</li> <li>ln -s nonsecure.example.com/files secure.example.com/</li> <li>ln -s nonsecure.example.com/modules secure.example.com/</li> </ol>
