RE: [users@httpd] The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost

The two messages are perfectly normal. The first warns you that you have not configured the SSL Session Cache which probably means that your clients will need to renegotiate the SSL session for every TCP connection. The second one is just an enumeration of versions...

 

Could your problem be that you have configured your httpd for SSL (HTTPS) only ? In that case try https://localhost/

 

Or could it be that you have configured a Listen directive specifying another port than 80 ?

 

I suggest you try "netstat -an | grep LISTEN" and look for binds on ports 80 and 443, or any other port you may have configured Apache for. Take a look at the Listen directives in your configuration. Determine whether they are served by a virtual host in which "SSLengine On"...

Subject: [users@httpd] The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost

I have recently installed 2.1.8 with SSL support. I have specifed the 
ssl.conf file to access the server.crt and server.key within the ssl.key folder. 
When I start apache with

./apachectl start I get the following message in 
the error logs:

[Thu Oct 27 19:06:12 2005] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[Thu Oct 27 19:06:12 2005] [notice] Apache/2.1.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.1.8 OpenSSL/0.9.7e mod_jk/1.2.14 configured -- resuming normal operations

 
When 
I try nd access apache from a browser http://localhost I get the following error 
message:

The connection was refuesed when attempting to contact 
localhost

I have to say I am stumped with this one as I can see nothing 
in the logs to indicate that there is a problem. Any ideas 
anyone?
