You don't have to put both the https and the :443  It does the same thing.
This might be what is causing the problem?
Also it sounds like you need to set up your proxy configuration in your
browser.
Finally it looks like https://MyServerName.local does not match
https://MyServerName.MyCompanyName.com this depends a lot on DNS, so make
sure
the certificate you create can be resolved bt DNS.

Subject: SSL confusion http works ssl won't


Hello,

I have installed SuSE linux 7.0, then downloaded and installed
apache 1.3.12,
openssl 0.9.5a,
mod_ssl 2.6.6, following instructions given in the mod_ssl.org site.
Every step worked fine, including the Snake Oil CA, until the actual test.

I then try
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -DSSL, and it outputs to the screen,
"Server MyServerName.local:443"
and asks me for the pass phrase, which I type in and it says,
"Pass Phrase Dialog Successful"

However, when I type,
netscape https://MyServerName.local:443, the browser launches and 
just hangs with "Connect: Looking up host: MyServerName.local...

I've also tried, https://MyServerName.MyCompanyName.com:443 with same 
results. Trying the above on a different computer, connected to the company 
LAN, I get:

"Error
------------------------------------------------------------
The requested operation could not be performed by the proxy.
Connect to MyServerName.MyCompanyName.com:443 failed (Connection refused)
------------------------------------------------------------
Proxy server at InternalNet.MyCompanyName.com on port 74"

On the other hand, if I try  http://MyServerName.MyCompanyName.com, I get 
my non-secure target web page and I can do this on the server computer, or
on any computer connected to the company LAN.

So why can't I display the secure sample page? How can I tell the secure 
server *is* running. After I launch the secure server with,
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl -DSSL, and I try to stop it with,
/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl stop, it comes back saying,
"httpd (no pid file) not running". So how can it not be running right after
what appears a successful launch? Is there a special way to name or
configure 
the server IP address, name, or maybe use in DHCP mode? Is the netscape
proxy 
an issue?

Any help is most welcome. Thanks in advance.

Jorge
