Shared SSL Howto?

[pseconds]

Okay, I need some help, what should be simple advice on how to get the shared ssl to work on plesk for Windows.

On the client side, I click on MyDomains, check the box to enable Shared SSL and seelct the domain of the certificate.

In this case I selected safe.xyz.com since that is where my cert is issued to.

Then I go to the individual domain, click on Shared SSL, check the box that says "Turn on shared SSL" I leave the defaults so the virtual directory is client_com and the folder where the documents live is /httpsdocs

Fine, this looks easy. But then when I go to https://safe.xyz.com/client_com I would expect to see the default index.html file nor does the lock appear indicating the certificate has been invoked. When I do https://safe.xyz.com:8443 the cert works fine.

So how do I get shared SSL working on Plesk 8.6?

Anyone?

Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong? According to the manual this should work. Is 8.6 broken?

Web site's document root always points to httpdocs. You should either choose httpdocs or make appropriate redirect to httpsdocs.

My suggestion for regular hosting environment, just point to httpdocs while you are setting up the share SSL folder, that way, save resource consuming and also you don't have to upload files to httpsdoc folder again. Just make sure check off the box saying "require secure connection"
