WebStar SSL and WebCatalog conflict?

texte = Help!I am having a very severe problem with the WebStar SSL server and WebCatalog. We have an online store in which the secure server takes over about 2-3 pages into the ordering process. We are also running another site as a virtual host but our online store with the secure server is the primary host and all the files are in the root folder with WebStar and WebStar SSL. What is happening is that the secure server will serve the html pages UNTIL the non-secure serves one of the virtual host pages. Then, after that, any page on the primary host that the secure server tries to serve, it will generate a WebCatalog error saying that the page can't be found.After a virtual host page has been served, I type in a URL for a secure page on the primary host and it reports an error because it's trying to look for the page in the virtual host folder. Even though I type in http://www.primaryhost.com/pages/thankyou.html, it acts like it's trying to serve up the page at http://www.virtualhost.com/pages/thankyou.html. Obviously, those files are not in the virtual host but rather in the primary host folder.The only way that I can remedy the situation is to either go back to my browser and load a page in the primary host folder with the non-secure server or go to my WebCatalog admin program and flush the template cache. I can proceed as normal until somebody else requests a page in the virtual host folder - then I am back to the same problem.The strange thing about clearing the template cache is that I have my WebCatalog preferences set to NOT cache the templates. Is the caching really the problem (meaning is it a WebCatalog issue) or is does this just happen to be a symptom of a greater problem?I talked to tech support at WebStar and they are stumped! They have been very good up to this point but admit they have NEVER seen this problem.Help please!!!!Scott Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
