Apache+mod_ssl update...

[Peter Elsner]

Thanks to Mark Foster and Raphaël Marmier, who have given me a lot of
information...


Raphaël Marmier, told me that I should run: apachectl startssl
(instead of the apachectl start I normally run)

This didn't work, apachectl didn't understand the command startssl at all.

After looking in the /usr/local/sbin directory, I discovered that there was
an httpsdctl program in there along with the apachectl.

With the httpsdctl program, I can get httpsd started, and looking at
the /var/log/httpsd_error_log file, I didn't see any errors.

ps ax | grep 'http'    shows both httpd and httpsd running.

After issuing a restart just now, I decided to check the log file again.
Before, I was simply doing a cat /var/log/httpsd_error_log
and it didn't show me anything...  This time I pulled it up in vi,
and this is the output...

So although it starts, there's a warning message I've never seen before,
and a quick search on Google for that warn message, doesn't reveal much.

My regular (non-secure) web pages show up fine, but the secure sites
come back with Page Not Found error messages...

Any ideas from anyone?

Thanks,

Peter

I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though she's
too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I worry
that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say "Daddy, where
were you when they took freedom of the press away from the Internet?"
