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 pagesinto the ordering process. We are also running another site as a virtual hostbut our online store with the secure server is the primary host and all thefiles are in the root folder with WebStar and WebStar SSL. What is happeningis that the secure server will serve the html pages UNTIL the non-secureserves one of the virtual host pages. Then, after that, any page on theprimary host that the secure server tries to serve, it will generate aWebCatalog 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 pageon the primary host and it reports an error because it's trying to look forthe page in the virtual host folder. Even though I type inhttp://www.primaryhost.com/pages/thankyou.html, it acts like it's trying toserve up the page at http://www.virtualhost.com/pages/thankyou.html.Obviously, those files are not in the virtual host but rather in the primaryhost folder.The only way that I can remedy the situation is to either go back to mybrowser and load a page in the primary host folder with the non-secure serveror go to my WebCatalog admin program and flush the template cache. I canproceed as normal until somebody else requests a page in the virtual hostfolder - then I am back to the same problem.The strange thing about clearing the template cache is that I have myWebCatalog preferences set to NOT cache the templates. Is the caching reallythe problem (meaning is it a WebCatalog issue) or is does this just happen tobe a symptom of a greater problem?I talked to tech support at WebStar and they are stumped! They have been verygood up to this point but admit they have NEVER seen this problem.Help please!!!!Scott
