Once you have the 49 dollar cert installed on the main domain (ip) used for
ssl server wide + no errors:
Like: secure.domainname.tle...

To Link SSL to site:
su - to root at command line
Enter Admin password.

SSL Link to web:
cd /home/sites/secure.domainname.tle/web
ln -s /home/sites/www.domainname.tle/web domainname (no hostname or top
level)

SSL Link to cgi-bin:
cd /home/sites/secure.domainname.tle/web/cgi-bin
ln -s /home/sites/www.domainname.tle/web/cgi-bin domainname (no hostname or
top level)

Do not check any ssl check boxes in the siteadmin for the added domains
except for the one that the cert is install on.
e.g. secure.domainname.tle ONLY!

This will link web and cgi-bin directories to ssl on the hostname secure
site. you need to
add one for each domain that will use it.
