Uhhhm, why, yes, you can. I'm not quite sure I understand your problem right now, but basically you can do (seen from apache) anything with your 443 hosts you can do with the 80 ones. The only problem is 1. You can only use one (1) certificate per IP/port, 2. If you host both domains foo and bar behind one IP/port, and your certificate is foo only, visitors of bar will get a validation nag. Compare your ssl vhosts to your non ssl ones.

[gentoo-user] amd64 install quirk
Hello, I have install (2) amd64 systems, an amd64 (turion) and and amd64 in a DX-5150, both HP systems. I having trouble with a system, pieced together. I managed to get gparted to reformat the drive and install XP on sda1. It boots and the machine is fine. Now trying to install gentoo(amd64) on the other partitions is becoming a challenge. If I use the 2006.1-livecd-amd64 livecd, the sata dvd/cd (plextor PX-755SA) gives me problems. The cd will work at the beginning, but then gives this error message: snip Keeping default keymap Determining root device... The root block device is unspecified or not detected. Please specify a device to boot, or shell for a shell... boot() :: end/snip nothing I enter works. I try the amd64-2006.1.minimum CD and get the same results OK, so I think huh, just add an IDE cdrom. WEll that solves this problem but during the install when you get to the setup/format the disk, the sata disk is not seen. It's like there is no harddrive present. Ok, so I think ah, just disconnect the sata DVD/cd drive? That does not help either. So I then say, what the hell I use an x86 image and get all the way to actually running the installation, to find out that the ethernet driver does not work. It does boot, See the hard drive and go all the way to the end, but the ethernet does not get properly set up. snip • Dual LAN jacks • Realtek PCI-E GbLAN controller 8111B - Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY in single chip - Supports 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s and 1000Mb/s - Compliance with PCI-Express Bus specification v1.0a • Realtek PCI GbLAN controller 8110S - Integrated Fast Ethernet MAC and PHY in single chip. - Supports 10Mb/s, 100Mb/s and 1000Mb/s. - Compliance with PCI 2.3 end/snip Maybe I need to load some special drivers onto a usbstick or with a custom cd to get the ethernet working?

[gentoo-user] Random number generation

[gentoo-user] Problem with PHP4

Actually Apache itself wasn't messed up, but Mod_PHP was since it couldn't load the Mysql library any more.

I upgraded to PHP 5 by unmerging the existing mod_php then emerging php. This works as far as Apache2 is concerned, but not as far as a PHP form generator I use is concerned. This form is a contact form for my website and isn't working properly under PHP5 for some reason.
