Hi, Scott and all, Thanks for the hint, I asked the SA to restart it as root, he got no error messages, and I tried the https in the browser, and still shows the "Page not found". I ran the command netstat for 443: lan: unknown protocol or uninstrumented protocol Strangely, this command with the port 4545 for http (that´s working fine) also gives me same message. Im not clear on what this means. Any other idea or suggestions? Another question that´s not clear yet: do I have to include the "LoadModule ....libexec/mod_ssl.so" and "AddModule ....mod_ssl.c" in httpd file? If so, then I need to get the file mod_ssl.so. But I don´t intend to re-install the apache, if it´s really needed the file mod_ssl.so, where can I find a plug-in, or patch, in order to have the mod_ssl.so working fine in the directory, withou re-installing?

Usually the daemon is started as root, then does an internal "su" as it spawns its listeners. This allows the master daemon to attach to low-numbered ports, which are privileged on most systems. > > But when I try with port 7575, for ex., it lets me start the apache, > but the https doesnt work as well. Port 7575 is in the unprivileged high numbers that are available to any user. You can also use "netstat -plan | grep :443" to see if some other daemon is listening already on port 443, but I think the most likely cause is that you didn't start the daemon from root. The "permission denied" message probably means exactly what it says. :-) Kind regards, Scott -- Scott Courtney <scourtney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sine Nomine Associates --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
