ssl and database posting going no where

Ok long story short, I installed a SSL certificate this morning and now my
SSL protected subdirectory on my website does not post to my database.. Move
the Exact Same asp page to the root directory with the Same System DSN and it
works perfectly.

website has a root directory at c:\webs\rms with files for general
information. there is a client subdirectory off the root with an ASP page for
them to post new data to our database in the root folder
c:\webs\rms\fpdb\quickupload.mdb an MS access database.

If I go to https://www.rmsinternational.com/clients/quickupload.asp it
doesn't work. No error message and it goes straight to the confirmation page
but never [posts the information to the database. Just seams to go into
Server Hell.

Yet copy the same page into the root directory and run
http://www.rmsinternational.com/quickupload.asp and it works fine.

Can someone please help me??

If the pages are loading, then it doesn't seem to be an IIS issue. Instead,
I would suspect that you have a coding issue. Perhaps you have a check in
your ASP page that checks the referring URL (or similar). In the code that
processes the POSTed data, put some Response.Write() statements throughout
the code, so you can see what's being run and what isn't. Alternatively, use
a debugger (like the one that's available with Visual Interdev) to see
what's happening (but don't attach it to your live server!)

Cheers

Do I need to add an entry into the global.asa file that maps the https
directory reference to the database? A virtual directory? I still seem to be
lost. I tried adding a response.write() statment but it didnt print anywhere
I could see. I have Frontpage 2003 and a win2003 server with IIS

You shouldn't need to add another to global.asa etc (unless there's
something funny that Frontpage adds to global.asa)

You need to have a look in the ASP code that's been generated to see where
it might not be running.
