Make sure you have these statements in your httpd.conf: LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so <IfModule mod_ssl.c> Include conf/ssl.conf </IfModule>
As for your ssl.conf, there are couple things that could be tripping you up, you can try posted a scrubbed version if you'd like, but the first thing you need to ensure is "SSLEngine on"...also, I have #<IfDefine SSL> commented out if that is what you were referring too? When your service starts, what does the browser return when you access https? Can you see that socket actually open e.g. netstat? >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Denton >Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 6:16 PM >To: modssl-users@modssl.org >Subject: Question regarding IfDefine tags > >Hello all, > >I am hoping someone can clarify this for me: > >I am using OpenSSL with Apache2 on windows server.
