Re: [binarycloud-dev] make configuration

[Jason H. <jc...@ey...>]

Well, here is our company's current SSL virtual host setup.  While it's
not perfect, (it's actually cheap), it may need to be considered as a
possible BC configuration concern.


Say we host 10 sites on one server, all with their own vhost/docroot. 
For SSL, there is a vhost/docroot pointing to
secure.domain.com/site_name.  This allows us to secure multiple sites
under one certification.

So if the site is:
http://www.site_name.com  == /var/www/html/site_name

the secured pages would be located at:
https://secure.companyname.com/site_name   ==
/var/www/html/secure/site_name

Told ya it was cheap. :p
