If you're planning to use SSL, I highly recommend you use the CGI version for now.>If you are talking about separate CPUs, how does one use the Web* configuration script to update the PlugIn for both the regular and SSL server applications ? I don't mind doing the configuration manually, I'm just curious if I missed something.Please configure it manually. We provide that very simple script to get people up and running before they learn how to use the _real_ WebStar administration.>If we have both the Web* and Web*/SSL servers on the same CPU, can we still use the plug-in without problems ? Can we keep them in separate folder hierarchies ?For technical reasons only StarNine can explain, it's better not to use the plugin for a site that has both SSL and non-SSL. We're planning a fix in the next release that allows W* and W*SSL to use the exact same plugin.>I'm also not sure I understand the RAM requirement is doubled sentence in either of the two interpretations unless you just mean that each CPU would have to allocate RAM for the plug-in.StarNine designed W* and W*SSL to use separate folders for plugins. That means 2 completely different WebCatalog plugins get loaded, each of which has its own memory space, databases, etc. To prevent confusion on your part, I recommend using the CGI to circumvent this problem (only 1 CGI ever gets used). It's possible to use the plugin, but you must be very aware of what data is going where. Don't worry: the CGI is extremely fast -- ClubMac has been using it for months now with no detectable slowdown.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
