texte = My goal is to handle all of the product searching and shopping cart functions within the non-SSL Webstar (3.0.1, Webcat 2.1.3 acgi version) for reasons of productivity; then pass only the page where we collect the Credit Card from the SSL server, then go back to non-SSL for invoicing, etc.; also for retrieving completed orders. I am using v3 ssl, but v2 works exactly the same in the scenario below.Both SSL and Non-SSL software reside in the same directory, sharing the same webcatalog acgi (I gave up on the plug-in version with SSL).The problem:The SSL server can find the Shopping cart folder when addressed like this in the WevCatalog preferences: ../ec_common/ShoppingCarts (Note: the ShoppingCarts folder is inside of a common directory for e-commerce (ec_common) and is shared among 5 individual stores from a common owner).The non-SSL server can find the same folder when addressed like: /ec_common/Shoppingcarts, but not ../ec_common/ShoppingcartsSince they both use the same ACGI, and therefore the same preferences folder, I am stuck. One finds the Cart folder, the other does not.I can make EITHER get to the Cart folder, but not both. If I configure the SSL server with /ec_common/ShoppingCart, the cart token defaults to the parent directory and instead of ShoppingCarts, and does not show up from the shopping cart page. And vice versa.The short answer is to run all functions inside of SSL, but that is precisely what I want to get away from - and why I switched from running the two versions of Webstar within separate directories.Does anyone have a resolution for this?======================================================================== Hewitt Consulting...
