Sending form through secure server.

[DAS]

I have a form that works fine on the server
(http://www.mydomain.com/form.htm) but when I try to send
it through a secure server
(https://secureserver/mydomain/form.htm) I get the
following error instead of a confirmation page:

*-*-* :-| :^| :-/ :-( 8-( *-*-*
status=1
osstatus=0
msg=FrontPage security violation.
osmsg=


What needs to be done to fix this?

Thanks in advance
Dale

You need to have your own SSL certificate, and it needs to be apply to your
entire domain, not a shared SSL certificate, unless the host is willing to
set up the FP extensions to work with a shared SSL certificate.

I thought that the extentions could be the problem. Is
there a way to set up the form that doesn't need FP
extentions? All I need the form to do is to post the
information to a txt file and go to a confirmation page.
the confirmation could be a simple "thank you" page. It
doesn't have to use confirmation fields.

Yes, but it will require you to write custom server-side scripts in ASP, PHP
or CGI-Perl, etc. to accomplish processing the form data similar to how the
FP extensions process the form.
