Hi, i read all the messages in the archive, since I had a problem with apache+modssl+openssl with a Verisign Global Cert. The problem was that all worked just fine with netscape, but worked only sometimes with Internet Explorer (3 or 4 times out of 10). In fact, I thought it was an openssl or modssl problems, especially for the way they handle sgc certs. I tried multiple configurations, changing algorithms, protocol version, and so on, but nothing happened. So I decided to buy another cert (international 40bit from thawte), and waited for it. Installed succesfully but... Using explorer gave the same problem as before!!! As a last chance, I trashed my httpd.conf and made changes to the default... and... it works!!! rock solid and performing like a beast!!! And not only the 40bit cert!!! I changed my conf, and now also the SGC Global Cert from Verisign works with IE, NS, your coffee machine or whatever does ssl... :-))) So i decided to look for differences between my "hand-made" httpd.conf and the one soldered with apache distro. The only difference is that I used virtual hosting to specify my https server parameters, instead of the default httpd.conf that uses a global config. What's wrong with virtual hosting + https ??? Thanx and bye, Pier P.S.: BTW, using virtual hosting and a self-signed cert, works both with IE and NS... mmmmh.. ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
