Let’s say I have an SSL secured domain at secure.domain.com.

I also have a web application (using silverstripe) at http://www.domain.com and another at app.domain.com (using CakePHP)

I would like specific areas of http://www.domain.com and app.domain.com to utilize SSL, and thus must somehow rewrite the paths using the subdomain with the installed SSL certificate.

So for example, secure.domain.com/ss/* should rewrite to http://www.domain.com/* and similarly, secure.domain.com/app/* should rewrite to app.domain.com/*.

The challenge, however, is that both http://www.domain.com (SilverStripe) and app.domain.com (CakePHP) have their own complex rewrite rules, and I can’t seem to build an htaccess script that successfully retains the functionality of the respective applications…

FYI Assume I have the directory structure /public_html and webroots assigned to the apps as follows:
http://www.domain.com -> /public_html/subdomains/www
app.domain.com -> /public_html/subdomains/app
secure.domain.com -> /public_html/subdomains/secure

Has anyone accomplished something similar to this before?

    The most elegant way is to simply symlink the SSL subdirectory to the apps folder, so they’re basically the same directory.

    /public_html/app
/public_html/subdomains/secure.domain.com -> /public_html/app

    That is, if your host gives you this option.
