Re: SSL question and also the use of "scan"
It really depends on your server setup. But the key thing is that all
stuff you want users to interact with securely should be inside of the
SSL directory. The minivend backend doesn't need to be in those places,
because your users will interact with the CGI in the secure area, not
the backend.
Quick "diagram" that might help
USER talks to WEB SERVER talks to CGI (vlink, tlink, whatever) talks to
MV BACKEND
--SECURE-- --INTERNAL-- --INTERNAL--
In my experience, I find it easiest to make the SSL and the cleartext
httpd's to point to the same places. I set up my cart and get things
working, then turn it over to SSL.
