hi, i'm able to get this error message with the following configuration file fragment put in the global context:
---------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------ # ... SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile /etc/apache/ssl.crt/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/ssl.key/server.key <VirtualHost _default_:*> </VirtualHost> # ... ---------------- CUT HERE ------------------------------ without any VirtualHost diretive apache starts correctly with SSL on every port it listens to. as soon as i insert a VirtualHost directive, even if empty, apache doesn't start and i get the error message in subject. if i put the SSL directive into a VirtualHost everything works as usual. i can reproduce it with different configuration files. any advice? thanks cavok -----[ Domenico Andreoli, aka cavok --[ http://filibusta.crema.unimi.it/~cavok/gpgkey.asc ---[ 3A0F 2F80 F79C 678A 8936 4FEE 0677 9033 A20E BC50
