How to set up http://www.example.com and https://secure.example.com

Help! (Home for newbies)

Hi,

How would I setup to redirect https to a sub-domain/sub-server/alias. I’ve made a virtual server say example.com, so http://www.example.com. I can create an alias so secure.example.com points to same directory as example.com and www.example.com. And I guess I can turn on SSL so and have a certificate with www. and secure… Is there anyway to just have SSL on secure.example.com and not enable it for www.example.com?

Howdy,

It sounds like your suggestion of using aliases and pointing them all at the same location is a good way to do that.

You could always setup a .htaccess file that rewrites the address if someone attempts to connect via SSL on www.example.com.
