thanks for the reply. I doubt it is the firewall since the I am trying to access https://192.168.0.80/ from another PC on the same LAN, i.e. router does not come into play.
That IP address is an internal IP address to the LAN. So for example my webserver with mod_ssl running is on IP 192.168.0.80, and the PC I am trying to access it with is 192.168.0.3 for example. When I use a web browser on 192.168.0.80 with URL https://localhost/ or the URL https://192.168.0.80/ SSL works fine with corresponding log entries in both access_log and ssl_request log being made. But when I use browser on 192.168.0.3 with URL https://192.168.0.80/ it responds with Page Cannot be Displayed with Explorer, and connection refused with Netscape and in both cases no log entries are made on the server in either access_log or ssl_request log. Of course I checked if normal http works from 192.168.0.3 and it does of course. I am at a loss as to why this is. warmest regards, Eric Sean Webber ________________________________________________ Get your own "800" number Voicemail, fax, email, and a lot more http://www.ureach.com/reg/tag ---- On Thu, 28 Feb 2002, Andrew Lietzow ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > Dear Owen, > Personally I am not a big fan of opening attachments from unknown > sources. > Since you're on this list, you're > probably a trusted source but I was not aware that sending attachments > through this list server was even an option.
