Shawn, thank you so much for your reply. I think this definitely has me on the right track. what i need to figure out now is, is it Apache or PHP that is switching the domain? all the code uses relative links (as far as i can tell... i didn't build this project, i inherited it, so i'm figuring out the code as i go along). Like I said in my original post, I actually have 80 & 9090 pointed to the same dir on the filesystem, and the same db. However, as you so astutely pointed out, the 9090 version doesn't switch to SSL, and I'm guessing that has to do with our SSL cert? I'm not sure what part of the code handles that switch, but am currently digging through that. Do you know if there's a way for PHP to set cookies for *.mydomain.com? In other words, have a cookie be valid for all subdomains across a domain? Or, do you have any input on where/who might be switching the domain (apache, php, client-side?)?
