-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. I'm back with yet another question, your indulgence please. Under slackware, when the mod_ssl package is installed, /usr/sbin/apachectl is replaced with a script specifically modified for ssl, which supports the starttls option. I noticed however, that when I installed libapache-mod-ssl under debian, the old apachectl script included in the apache package was not modified or replaced. So, I edited the apachectl script under debian, to start the apache daemons with the "-DSSL" flag, which did result in apache's listening, and talking ssl on port 443. However, when apache got upgraded during a recent dist-upgrade, the apachectl script was replaced again, and my modification was lost. Again, if the script is not changed, apache doesn't listen on port 443. However, if I again modify the script to startup the daemons with the "-DSSL" flag, ssl works just fine again. Since I don't want to have to modify the apachectl script every time apache gets upgraded, can someone please enlighten me as to how apache with ssl support should be started in debian? As I imply above, my httpd.conf/mod_ssl.conf configuration is fine, and yes, there is a listen 443 directive in addition to the standard listen 80 directive, it's just the lack of the -DSSL flag during startup that seems to be the problem it seems. As always, thanks in advance for any help, and thanks to those who have put up with me so far.
