I have to admit that the particular distro I use (Mandrake) comes with an already configured SSL aware Apache, so I have not set this up from scratch.It looks like this is how they have chosen to enable ssl from within Apache:
#blah blah blah # General setup for the virtual host DocumentRoot /var/www/html #ServerName new.host.name #ServerAdmin you@your.address ErrorLog logs/ssl-error_log TransferLog logs/ssl-access_log and this file is simply included in the main .conf file. All of the #blah blah settings are the SSL specific settings for that VH. Then, if the client connects to 443 (instead of 80) then this VirtualHost is used.HTHJohn-- John Peacock Director of Information Research and Technology Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group 4720 Boston Way Lanham, MD 20706 301-459-3366 x.5010 fax 301-429-5747 ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
