Basically, any VirtualHost entries that are defined in the httpd.conf file need to have a :80 at the end of them. i.e.: <VirtualHost *> to <VirtualHost *:80> -Rob -----Original Message----- From: Dege, Robert C.

After making the appropriate modifications to the httpd.conf file, I restarted the service, & tested out the setup. I can get to the site using http://mysite.com:443 (not in secure mode), but not https://mysite.com. I get an error message in the logs that says "Invalid method in request !!!"
