Yes, I can see the need for a separate port, but it's not clear why VH's are/must be used to separate off the HTTPS activity on port 443. As I mentioned on my last reply, I'm hoping that http://myserver and https://myserver both work; the first on :80 and the 2nd on :443. Am I expecting too much? Is this unpossible? I've just started on the Virtual Hosts section of the supplied /manual for Apache, but alas it's not immediately clear in my head what the options are. > PS - did you install mod_ssl?
