texte = >I don't think there's a way to use the same plugin for both Webstar and>WebStarSSL. Thus you have to use the cgi. Grant?It is a deficiency of WebSTAR that causes this (please don't complain to StarNine -- Chuck and I have talked about it and come up woth a workaround, but I don't think I can code it up in this release).You can't use the _same_ plugin, but if you copy the plugin into both SSL and non-SSL plugin folders, you can use WebCatalog on both WebSTARs. You just have to be careful not to change records in a database that is used by both WebSTARs. (And make sure you're not stealing copies of our software! Your license of WebCatalog only allows you to do this if the reason is to access the same databases from the same machine using SSL).W* pulls the database into RAMW*SSL pulls the database into a different area of RAMEven though the database has the same name, one of the 2 plugins could make changes to the database that the other plugin would not see.1) Using the CGI is completely safe, because both W* use the same CGI2) A site that contains READ-ONLY databases (i.e. you don't modify your product catalog remotely using WebCatalog's $Append, $Replace, $Delete) is OK, but you need twice the RAM3) A site that contains editable databases is OK _only_ if you are very aware of which databases are getting modified, and you force the 'other' plugin to reload at the right timeGrant Hulbert, V.P.
