Re: Dumb unix question....

Joe,

You need to create a symbolic link to the site that will share your SSL.
We'll assume your directory structure is like this:
-WebSites
    -secure.west21.com
        -files and subdirectories
    -domain1.com
        -files and subdirectories
    -domain2.com
        -files and subdirectories

Open Terminal and "cd" to the secure.west21.com directory. Then type:

ln -s ../domain1.com domain1.com

This will essentially create an alias to the domain1.com directory inside
the secure.west21.com directory.

If you need more, try: man ln
