Hello Owen,

thanks again for your mail.

PLease post in plain text - my mail client doesn't handle HTML mail...

The thing you type into the browser's Location window has to match
what's in the cert. Does it?
Yes, it does. but this error "[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN)
does NOT match server name!?" is given during the HTTPS server start. and the next step is to start the browser.

In your httpd.conf you must have a ServerName directive - what is it set to? It must be the same as the common name in the cert.

It is set to "yin.fokus.gmd.de" which is the same as the common name in the cert.
I have got this error during HTTP Secure Server start, and this step happens before typing something in browser!

if you are doing all this on a standalone
laptop, I doubt it.

Could you tell me the reason? what do you mean "standalone"? The laptop get
it's IP address during reboot using DHCP.

So how do you access the web site? You must type something into the browser - unless you type yin.fokus.gmd.de, you will get a warning. But how can you type this in?  - you would need a local DNS set up to resolve this domain. Do you have this?

I'm sorry that I don't understand what you mean! But I think my laptop can local understand the mapping
betweem IP address and host name "yin.fokus.gmd.de". The browser works well if I now type
"http://yin.fokus.gmd.de";, but does not work "https://yin.fokus.gmd.de";!
I think I can only start the HTTP server because there are the following message in the error_log file :
---->
[warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `yin.fokus.gmd.de' does NOT match server name!?
Apache/2.0.43 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.43 OpenSSL/0.9.6g DAV/2 configured -- resuming normal operations

Best Regards,
Aihong Yin.
