Well the AllowOverride manages what you are allowed to configure in .htacces
Order deny, allow deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 This manage who can access these server from where. In your case you can only access from 127.0.0.1 aka. localhost your computer See the docs for more details http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/howto/access.html Mario -----Original Message----- Got it. Well, almost. It seems that where my https connection was concerned, I was running with AllowOverride None, so none of the rewrite directives in the .htaccess file were being processed. So I've solved this by 'opening up' my development machine by specifying on all directories: AllowOverride All Order deny, allow deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.1 I still don't fully understand, as those are the directives I was running for my drupal install directory already. Furthermore, the .htaccess file in that directory was being processed and allowing my ordinary http URL's to be rewritten properly. Obviously https is different 'somehow', so any explanations will be welcome. Meanwhile, I can get on and start playing with ssl on my development machine ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List modssl-users@modssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@modssl.org
