You definately don't need to be running both sslstart and then start, just running sslstart should start up both http and https servers running on port 80 and 443. You should have these statements in your httpd.conf Port 80 Listen 80 Listen 443 If not, something else weird is going on. -Dav

It sounds like you are not running "apachectl startssl", and just running "apachectl start". Personally, I've found those statements a PITA. What I do is replace all statements with , except for the ones around the mod_ssl LoadModule and AddModule lines. Then if I want to turn off mod_ssl, I

Your configuration looks good, but I'm pretty sure that --enable-rule=SSL_EXPERIMENTAL should be part of your APACI_ARGS when configuring mod_perl, not when configuring mod_ssl. Of course, if it works, maybe Ralf moved shmcb out of the SSL_EXPERIMENTAL code? I'll have to look at the source to ch

Browsing through the mod_ssl source code, I notice that ssl_engine_config.c has a reference to stdin. Unfortunately I don't know lex/flex well enough to understand why. What's up? When does mod_ssl need to read stdin? I know that the default SSLPassPhraseDialog setup will cause it to prompt

Someone was testing to see if your machine is an open proxy. It appears (from the 200 result code) that it is. 63.251.5.48 = InterNap, and I'm guessing they are not authorized users? It's not an ssl issue. You should look at the mod_proxy documentation to make sure you are configured correctly.
