Put differently, you can decide to only enable it for specific sites by placing the appropriate Addhandler command in that
section, but by default WC is enabled for all sites.You should also not need to play with VirtualHost's at all; that is truly needed only for multiple domains, not subdomains. You _can_ do it that way, but you are probably better off switching to SSL from your templates (note you may have to use a full URL) and add an ACL on the directory such that it requires SSL. Assuming you use mod_ssl, this should do what you want: SSLRequireSSL HTHHTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
