Multi-site Kentico with SSL on Plesk
Hi All. To streamline code use and maintenance, we're trying to set up a single install of Kentico 5.x on one of our hosting servers, which run under Plesk. We have a domain and initial site set up with the Kentico install, and have created a second site and domain alias. So far, so good - we can use both sites by domain without issue.

However, we now have the need to set both domains up with an SSL certificate, since both will require online donation forms. It does not appear we can assign more than one IP to the same Plesk domain, so we're left wondering how we can do this but retain the Kentico multi-site/single install situation.

I believe this can be one with regular IIS, since you can assign a site there to use a path on disk that happens to be used by another site. This just does not seem to translate to any known feature in Plesk. If we could do that, we could set up a separate Plesk domain and point it to the same physical path the original domain uses.

Anyone have some pointers on this? Many thanks in advance!

Erik

RE:Multi-site Kentico with SSL on Plesk
Hi Erik!

Is the main purpose of the multi-site single install for the donation forms? if so, is it possible to move the donation form to a separate "domain" within plesk and point the 2 domains to the donation form domain? This would allow you to have 1 installation of the donation form code, 1 ssl cert, and any number of sites could use it - in theory.

Thanks,
Paul
