[us...@httpd] Installation: Enabling HTTPS on 2.2.15 win32 with SSL - throws error.

2010-05-10 Thread Bruno Melloni 
I am completely new to the Apache Web Server.  I had no problems installing and 
running HTTP.  The problems started when enabling HTTPS.

I could not find instructions in the documentation but I noticed that 
httpd.conf has two commented sections:

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

Where the second one points to a file generated by the install process using my 
installation's values, and that contains the instructions that I found in a 
(clearly old) google posting.

It seemed obvious that uncommenting these two lines would enable HTTPS.  
Unfortunately all the reference to httpd-ssl.conf causes Apache Web Server to 
fail to start but puts no information about the cause in the logs.  My guess is 
that I missed doing something.

Can someone point me in the right direction, or if the steps to enable HTTPS on 
2.2.15 are documented somewhere, please point me to that documentation?

Thanks.

hi,

you must provide the RSA Private Keys and Certificates in the httpd-ssl.conf

see more here:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#aboutcerts
