1. I have this configuration in included in my conf file: ******************************************************** NameVirtualHost *:80 <VirtualHost *:80> <snip /> </VirtualHost> NameVirtualHost *:443 <VirtualHost *:443> ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost DocumentRoot /var/www <Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory> <Directory /var/www/> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride None Order allow,deny allow from all </Directory> ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/csunv443.log # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit, # alert, emerg.

This is the error I get from the browser when I attempt to go from a home page to a secure (https) page: ****************************************************************** Connection to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx unexpectedly terminated. Some data may have been transferred. ****************************************************************** 3. This is the error that shows up in my log file: ****************************************************************** [Sun Jun 04 13:10:06 2006] [error] [client 192.168.1.20] Invalid method in request \x80g\x01\x03 ****************************************************************** I have read the archives, which seems to say that mod_ssl is not running. However, as you can see from (1), above, I have all the directives to start the SSL components (I think!). I get no errors on startup, except for virtual host errors, evidently because I don't have names. This server can be accessed either internally, via a 198.162 address, or through a proxy, which has a valid public IP address, and all I'm trying to do with the virtual host directives is say "I don't care what IP you come from, or what domain name you typed in, any requests to this server on port 80 go to this virtual host and any request on port 443 go to this other virtual host". Could that possibly be what's screwing this up? Any other insights?
