Ah, this helped alot.

With this set everything worked 100% ok. Thanks a lot for your help guys. Now I have to find a way to disable entering my passphrase "every time" (once a year) the server reboots. Thank you again. - Steffen >From Andres Morey: Hi Steffen, Please turn your LogLevel to "info" to see if there are any messages in the logs. -Andres -----Opprinnelig melding----- Fra: Brian Mearns [mailto:mearns.b@xxxxxxxxx] Sendt: 4. mars 2009 15:58 Til: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Emne: Re: Help configuring Apache2 + SSL + namebased vhosts On Wed, Mar 4, 2009 at 9:42 AM, Steffen Tronstad <sttr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > apache2ctl -t > Syntax OK <clip> Hmm. Well, there's only two more things I can think of. First is that apachectl is looking at a different config file than your init.d script. Second is that apache is unable to bind to port 443. If it was working before you added the SSL stuff, then this could be the issue: this is normally reported when you try to start the server, but the particular init.d script you're using might obfiscate error messages, I've run into that problem before. Along those lines, see if you can start the server directly using 'apache2ctl start', that might get you some more informative error messages. Anyway, to see if it's a port-binding issue, make a back up of your config file, then remove all the SSL stuff and just have a normal vhost that happens to listen on 443. If you still can't start the server, then binding is probably the issue. This could mean something else is listening there, or that you just don't have permission to bind to that port. Sorry can't be more help. Please let us know how it goes. -Brian -- Feel free to contact me using PGP Encryption: Key Id: 0x3AA70848 Available from: http://pgp.mit.edu/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
