I don’t even know if this is “legal” or doable but I have to ask.
On a single IP we have www.hinduismtoday.com and we are developing a new version of the site for rollout in a month or two in a subserver "dev.hinduismtoday.com" which lives in /home/htoday/domains/dev.himalayanacadmy.com/[etc] with a complete framework there (public_html etc…)
Now our developers want to set up their e-commerce in advance but the subserver doesn’t have it’s own certificate…
If I try to enable SSL on the subserver I get, the old and familiar
Error:
Failed to modify server : SSL cannot be enabled for more than one domain on the IP address 64.151.103.88 unless a virtual IP interface or private port is enabled.
Right… that’s what I thought… OK, I’ll tell my guys to dev their pages/cgis with “http” URL’s and then later we will just have to go off line for an hour or so while we update paths to “https” when all the content of the new site is put in place as www.hinduismtoday.com. That should work… if everyone documents their stuff so we all know where the links ref/variables are that need to be updated when we go live… (that can be a problem, getting your team to document their work… good luck with that one…)
