You haven't provided any details, so it's hard to provide a specific suggestion. But in general I've found that when things change "out of the blue" it is usually because of some latent problem that wasn't noticed because of some other circumstance. E.g., you change a configuration file, but for some reason the executable isn't restarted, or doesn't read the configuration until after some time. Which is an excellent reason for archiving old configurations--for doing regression tests.
So you say that your configuration file is unchanged, with the implication "since it last worked with happy result". But a problem could have been there before, it just didn't surface that last time you restarted. So look at earliar changes, and consider what effect they might have. And check that previous configurations still work. > I've re-checked the httpd.conf so many times I'm tired of looking at it... > it should be correct. Anyone ever heard of ANYTHING like this? Yup. I've heard it said that first lesson of a painter is to paint what he (she?) _sees_, and not what he _thinks_ he sees. It is all too easy to uncritically scan something, and "think" it's right without _really looking_ at it. (Specific suggestion: lay it down, go home, have a beer, get a good night's sleep, and come back refreshed.) As a programmer I had to learn to NOT skate over all the symbols, to suppress my semantic interpretation and general jumping to conclusions, and to consider each item and its implications individually and afresh. === JJ ============================================================= On Thu, 4 Oct 2001, Henning Sittler wrote: > Any help please? > > I setup an IP based vhost with ssl amd my https connection worked.
