If you got an error in the ssl error-log then apache must be running. The invalid method error is exactly that - the HTTP method wasn't GET, POST etc... What request were you making when you got the error? Cross-check the access log for details... It looks like your certificate common name is localhost.localdomain and this doesn't match the ServerName argument which is what the warning is about. The DNS error means that he browser cannot resolve eghapp to an IP address while curl, apparently, can. No idea why - depends on OS, browser version, config etc. (eg, if the browser goes via a proxy, the proxy will not see a local /etc/hosts definition of eghapp). Tip: if you post back, cut'n'paste exact error messages - do not paraphrase as this loses important information. Also, give OS, apache 1.3 or 2 etc. Rgds, Owen Boyle Disclaimer: Any disclaimer attached to this message may be ignored. Diese E-mail ist eine private und persönliche Kommunikation.
