Since Webstar 3.0 SSL is incapable of virtual hosting, it will go to the root folder and follow the path from there. It won't start at the folder root virtual host folder.non ssl path would be likehttp://www.virtualdomain.com/store/page.tplssl path would be (for same file in same folder)https://www.virtualdomain.com/virtualroot/store/page.tpl It isn't elegant, but it will give a bad URL message instead of serving the page if try to serve via non-SSL.Sandy Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
