    Hi,

    This could be in the worng forum, apaolgies if it is....

    Ok, trying to setup apache with ssl on Red Hat 9.0, I have recieved my Thawte cert already. I was given instructions on what to do to get apache running with ssl support, I have followed them to a tee but have had no joy. When I test the default configuration that comes with the installed rpm's of apache and mod_ssl that come with the CD I am able to see http://localhost and https://locahost. I try and change the ssl.conf, the only changes I make are the following:

    <VirtualHost domain name:443>

    # General setup for the virtual host
    DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
    ServerName domain name:443
    ServerAdmin you@your.address
    ErrorLog logs/ssl/ssl_error_log
    TransferLog logs/ssl/ssl_access_log

    # Server Certificate:
    # Point SSLCertificateFile at a PEM encoded certificate. If
    # the certificate is encrypted, then you will be prompted for a
    # pass phrase. Note that a kill -HUP will prompt again. A test
    # certificate can be generated with `make certificate' under
    # built time. Keep in mind that if you've both a RSA and a DSA
    # certificate you can configure both in parallel (to also allow
    # the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/name of thawte cert
    #SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server-dsa.crt

    # Server Private Key:
    # If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this
    # directive to point at the key file. Keep in mind that if
    # you've both a RSA and a DSA private key you can configure
    # both in parallel (to also allow the use of DSA ciphers, etc.)
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/name of key I got with thawte cert
    #SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server-dsa.key

    I add the thawte cert and the key into the appropiate directories. I do not touch the httpd.conf file, when I restart apache it restarts ok. I am able to go to http://locahost fine, but when I try and go to https://locahost, I get the following error in my browser "The connection to localhost has terminated unexpectedly. Some data may have been transferred"

    When I check the log files the following is in there:
    [Tue Mar 02 15:13:50 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Directory index forbidden by rule: /var/www/html/
    [Tue Mar 02 15:13:53 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] Invalid method in request !F!!

    I have done a bit of googling on this and the problem seems to be related to the Virtual host settings, however I can not see where I am going wrong.

    Thanks
    Gareth
