Sorry !
That's what I meant to say.
mod_ssl would only fail to start if it detected that you were trying to
configure NBH with SSL. Regular HTTP should not be stopped.
It's just an idea - this NBH issue generates SO much noise on this list
;-)

Why is it "not what you want to do"? You can still have named-based
virtual hosts, but not in SSL mode.
I, for one, am planning to use a mix of named based & IP based virtual
hosting to get as many sites hosted on a single server as possible while
using as few IP addresses as possible. Not all the sites I'm hosting
will need SSL.
While having it refuse to start might make your learning curve a few
millimeters shorter, it would really tick me off by preventing me from
using features that I want.
