For simplicity, I really recommend you run the SSL WebSTAR on the same box, and in the same folder as your normal WebSTAR.If you really must run the second server, then you must have a shared folder for the shopping carts, so that file can be visible from both servers. And you must be running WebCatalog on the second server, so that server knows how to respond to $Purchase and other commands.Talk to StarNine about licensing a second copy of WebCatalog for that second server -- they may give you a special deal if you promise that the only reason for using the second copy is to split the SSL across 2 machines.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
