Thank you for your reply, it was most enlightening and yes I will re-assess my future as a human being. Hopefully that statement somehow makes you feel better about yourself.
Now with all that said and done, let's get back to my actual question, that's what this discussion list is about is it not? :)
My question quite clearly stated that I was attempting IP based hosting for my SSL based virtual host. I am assuming that you quite clearly did not actually read my email prior to your public abuse of my standing as a human being.
Please read the following quote from my initial email very carefully.
My SSL host is currently working with the following: <VirtualHost _default_:443>
However I want to change this to the IP based hosting for this host, allowing me to then add more SSL based virtual hosts on this setup, so I tried changing this to the following:
<VirtualHost 203.xxx.xxx.xxx:443>
I don't know whether you are going through an extremely bad period in your life, or you're just a grumpy old man, but try and not take this out on others. I'm sure the administrators of this mailing list did not intend this medium to be used for public abuse.
Regards,
Ian Newlands

That's a Google query for: SSL "name based virtual hosts"
The very first hit is: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/vhosts/name-based.html
The summary text presented by Google reads:
"Name-based Virtual Hosts
... Name-based virtual hosting cannot be used with SSL secure servers because
of the nature of the SSL protocol. ... Using Name-based Virtual Hosts. ..."
If you don't like that one, there are 1,890 other matches .. several of the first 20 clearly say in the summary text presented by Google that you can't do name-based virtual hosts with SSL.
Please note I have not to date, nor am I now, calling you [insert derogatory/deriding term or phrase here], nor am I saying you're a worthless human. I'm simply pointing out the obvious fact that the way your mind seems to go about solving problems and researching does not mesh well with the tasks you're trying to accomplish. You claim to have spent two MONTHS trying to find what I found in under 10 SECONDS. That doesn't make me one bit of a better person than you... it just says that my mind works in a way that is different from yours. I'd wager there are certain tasks you accomplish quite easily that would take me some effort. It's the way us humans seem to be designed.
Every once in awhile, it's a good thing to look at who we are and what we're good at and then review what we've chosen to do in life. Doing a job that meshes well with how you think can be all the difference between looking forward to an rewarding day at the office and a bruised forehead from repeatedly smashing your head against a wall in self-frustration. [ of course, I'm omitting the forehead bruising caused by external influences like PHBs ;-) ] As for the tone of your note .. life's tough, grab a helmet.
Kind Regards, -dsp
