Your telnet test shows you successfully connecting -- via ipv6 (Trying ::1...) -- to port 443 on the local machine. You need to continue testing the "b" and "c" options from my earlier message: > b) a machine on the same network, c) a machine on a different > (ideally external) network if you want clients to be able to connect from "b" internal networks and/or "c" external networks. As noted earlier, your netstat output is only showing ipv6 for port 443. That may be what you want, but generally isn't sufficient for full external client access. If you need ipv4 too you'll need to configure things appropriately -- that's a host networking, not apache/httpd, issue. By the way, the "s_client" test that was suggested is useful, but I think is harder to get the different types of server side responses from than a simple telnet. If the port is open but it's potentially a security protocol/certificate issue, then s_client is the right tool. Trying to debug your current issue with a browser is almost useless. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
