Okay, admitting ignorance is the first step in conquering ignorance, so I feel better already...

Basically, I've got no idea about SSL implementation, and that's beginning to bite me in the rump now. So, dumb as it may be, how do I use the SSL Certificate? We've got it set up here and all on the web server, but do I have to pass different headers to the pages for use, or is it just that I create a directory and "point" the SSL towards that directory?

Again, I know it's simple - it's just something I've never had to do before and I'm trying to get up and running on it. Many thanks in advance for any/all advice, tips, tutorials, etc...

    I have little more experience than you inthis field, but from my workings with SSL, you have to put all of the content you want under SSL inthat directory, everything else stays out.

    You can put yor entire site under SSL if you want, but I would make sure you use a globally accepted certificate as to not steer away old people and computer illiterate folk.

    Basically, what you want protected, put in your SSL folder and call the pages with the [url]https://[/url] format. That part is very important.

    Hope that helps.
