You can post them here, yes. If you have the ability to generate a unified diff against the CVS tree, that would be ideal. If not, and it's a short change (one misspelled word or something), it's just as easy if we know what file, what line number, and what the word used to be and what it should be. > Also, I just spent a week trying to figure something out which I > and others to whom I've talked about this are pretty certain isn't > very obvious from the documentation.

If you're using mod_ssl by Ralf Engelschall, there is an exceedingly good documentation set about it at http://www.modssl.org/. I'm not too familiar with Apache-SSL by Ben Laurie, but you can find a (seemingly more terse) set of documentation for that at http://www.apache-ssl.org/. The problem you're having is that HTTP name-based virtual hosting and SSL are mutually exclusive. That's because the HTTP Host: header doesn't get sent until after the SSL session is already established, and therefore Apache does not and cannot know which one of the virtual hosts you're trying to connect to and therefore cannot pick the right <VirtualHost> section from your config and the certificate that goes with it. This is a frequently asked question on the mod_ssl users mailing list and is probably one on the Apache-SSL lists as well. There is an FAQ at www.modssl.org which includes a description of this "chicken and the egg" problem. I'd give you the URL but I can't get to modssl.org at the moment. --Cliff -------------------------------------------------------------- Cliff Woolley [EMAIL PROTECTED] Charlottesville, VA --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
