httpsd doesn't start

2003-03-18 Thread Mike Burkhouse 








Hi All,



I saw a couple of references to this problem in the
archives, but none of the solutions there solved my problem.



I am running:



Red Hat 7.3

Apache 2.0.44

OpenSSL 0.9.7



1) I have a pretty vanilla httpd.conf running only one
site and I am trying to set up a secure virtual site in /apache2/htdocs/secureSite/
. 



2) I created my key and self-signed cert in /apache2/conf/ .



3) I configured apache2/conf/ssl.conf to point to the
correct key and cert and with the correct path to the directory that I want to
serve documents from



I stop httpd and run apachectl startssl with no complaints,
but only httpd starts, not httpsd, and nothing gets logged. I have no
idea how to track down what has gone wrong. Can anyone offer any
suggestions where to look? 



Sorry if this is not enough information  if you tell
me what else you need, I am happy to provide it to you.



Thanks,



Mike

I was in your 
exact boat yesterday, (except I use RH 8), and my problem turned out to 

be that the 
default, out-of-the-box ssl.conf file has ssl logging to logs/whateverLogFile, 

and I don't 
have a logs subdirectory where I keep my ssl.conf. 

I commented 
out all the logging lines (and hopefully everything will work when I replace 

them with the 
real paths to the real logs) and it started up right away with 

/usr/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL.

I wish it 
would have complained about this everytime I tried to start it up rather than 

just 
returning a prompt as if everything was fine...

There's no such thing as httpsd under Apache 2.0.x.  That's an
Apache-SSL-ism, and Apache2 uses mod_ssl.  HTTP and HTTPS are served by
the same daemon process(es).
