Re: cant start httpd with ssl

[Peter]

Alright, I remember monkeying around with this a lot before it worked. You should definitely thoroughly read the apache docs and read through the ssl.conf files that come with the install. You need to compile apache with SSL, and assuming thats done, you need to start it with "-D SSL". As far as I can tell from skimming the httpd.conf file, the SSL virtual host is never loaded up. I mean ssl.conf isn't even mentioned. Check out the base ssl.conf setup with the base configuration files in order to see how the virtual host should be specified. There's so many different options that, unless this is your sole job, its better to use exactly the conf files and then add a couple lines at a time until its what you want.

Someone with more apache experience might be able to lend more help but at the moment I would just keep going at it armed with the documentation and the base configuration files.

Maybe you should also attach the httpd.conf. Also, as I recall, you have to start up apache with a special flag to get the ssl working.
