I just gave you a rough, overall template of what you need. What file the directives are in does not matter as long as they are somewhere. If in doubt, just use the VH _default_:443 present in ssl.conf. I suggest you remove all unnecessary comments from the file. Makes it more readable. The configuration file structure I use consists of one file with all server-level directives, one file with all LoadModule directives, one file with server-level SSL directives, and one or more files containing virtual host definitions. That's just a matter of personal preference. If you want to, you can put the whole configuration into one single file. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Dimitri Yioulos [mailto:dyioulos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 07, 2005 3:48 PM To: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] SSL and directories Thanks! You made it very easy to understand. I'm most grateful. I installed mod_ssl (had to, of course), and the SSLEngine, SSLCertificateFile ..., and SSLCertificateKeyFile ... directives are in ssl.conf. If I put the same info in the httpd.conf https virtual host section, won't it bump into the stuff in ssl.conf, causing httpd to complain and fail? If that's the case, and I think it is based on preevious tries, what would the https virtual host section then have to look like?
