I have had no luck restoring my secure web-server. If I have to reinstall I will. However since first rpm -Uvh the openssl-0.9.6-4mdk I have had problems. I removed that one and reinstalled the openssl-0.9.5a-8mdk Still no luck and now on reboot I am getting multiple httpd starts /var/log/messages shows httpd: [Wed Jan 10 11:56:55 2001] [warn] _default_ VirtualHost overlap on port 443, the first has precedence. I dont see anything unusual in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl/mod_ssl.conf https://localhost gives network error broken-pipe apache rpms from the LM72 upgrade i.e. apache-1.3.14-2mdk etc. with mod_ssl-2.7.1-2mdk This was all working nicely with certificate, autentication etc. See previous posts re: openssl-0.9.6-4md Any thoughts?
