hi all,
Question #1:
i am currently working on having a secured site by installing openssl and
mod_ssl with apache. to start apache, i type in the command:
/var/lib/apache/bin/apachectl startssl
if i edit httpd.conf, will i use the same command to restart apache again?
because with a standard apache installation, i use apachectl to start my
apache the first time and if i do some editing on my httpd.conf, i now use
the command "/var/lib/apache/bin/httpd -f /var/lib/apache/conf/httpd.conf"
to restart my apache. are they the same?
Question #2:
starting apache without ssl support, my virtually hosted site works fine.
meaning, the files needed to show the contents of the web page can be
accessed as defined in the DocumentRoot and ScriptAlias locations of my
virtually hosted site. but, when i start apache with ssl support, the
DocumentRoot and ScriptAlias directives are now ignored. error messages in
my log file shows that the graphics and cgi scripts are being looked at the
default directories, which are at htdocs and cgi-bin respectively. i dont
know if im missing something since i cant find a documentation showing the
details for a virtually hosted site with ssl config. pasted below is my
virtual host directive:
<VirtualHost www.mydomain.com:443>
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /var/lib/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /var/lib/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
ServerAdmin [EMAIL PROTECTED]
DocumentRoot /var/lib/apache/htdocs/mysite
ServerName www.mysite.ph
ErrorLog logs/mysite-error_log
TransferLog logs/mysite-access_log
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi
AddType text/html .shtml
AddHandler server-parsed .shtml
ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /var/lib/apache/htdocs/mysite/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/var/lib/apache/htdocs/mysite/html">
AllowOverride all
Options Indexes Includes FollowSymlinks
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>
i have configured my apache to listen to ports 80 and 443.
hoping for inputs. thanks a lot.
