Ian,

http://www.google.com/search?num=20&hl=en&lr=lang_en&ie=UTF- 8&safe=off&q=SSL+%22name+based+virtual+hosts%22&spell=1

That's a Google query for: SSL "name based virtual hosts"

The very first hit is: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html

The summary text presented by Google reads:
"Name-based Virtual Hosts
... Name-based virtual hosting cannot be used with SSL secure servers because
of the nature of the SSL protocol. ... Using Name-based Virtual Hosts. ..."


If you don't like that one, there are 1,890 other matches .. several of the first 20 clearly say in the summary text presented by Google that you can't do name-based virtual hosts with SSL.

Please note I have not to date, nor am I now, calling you [insert derogatory/deriding term or phrase here], nor am I saying you're a worthless human. I'm simply pointing out the obvious fact that the way your mind seems to go about solving problems and researching does not mesh well with the tasks you're trying to accomplish. You claim to have spent two MONTHS trying to find what I found in under 10 SECONDS. That doesn't make me one bit of a better person than you... it just says that my mind works in a way that is different from yours. I'd wager there are certain tasks you accomplish quite easily that would take me some effort. It's the way us humans seem to be designed.

Every once in awhile, it's a good thing to look at who we are and what we're good at and then review what we've chosen to do in life. Doing a job that meshes well with how you think can be all the difference between looking forward to an rewarding day at the office and a bruised forehead from repeatedly smashing your head against a wall in self-frustration. [ of course, I'm omitting the forehead bruising caused by external influences like PHBs ;-) ] As for the tone of your note .. life's tough, grab a helmet.

Kind Regards,
-dsp

If I hadn't already exhausted resources I would not have made this post in the first place. I have tried 3 different versions of apache, searched through previous postings, used search engines etc. bought 2 books on apache and have been attempting to get this going for almost 2 months now.

I'm glad you're amused by my frustration here.

If there is anyone out there that is willing to submit a serious response to this I would appreciate it greatly.

Regards,

Ian Newlands

geeze. is it that time of the month already for this question? seems like it was just yesterday when it was asked last .. maybe I'm just thinking of the other 100,000 times it was asked.

in all seriousness, this dead horse has been beaten so many times on this list there isn't even a carcass left to hit at this point. please go dig through the mail list archives to see why name-based virtual hosts don't work with SSL.

yes, that's a flippant answer. no, you're not likely to get a reply any more serious.
