Fwd: Re: [Debian-sf-users] apache-ssl problem

[Kees Louwen]

Hi, I found finally some time to do some tests and analyses and got it 
working now.
I added the keyword 'SSLEnable' to all virtualhosts definitions in 
sf-httpd.conf. With this definition apache-ssl starts and works oke.
However, now standard apache doesn't work as it doesn't recognize the new 
ssl specific keyword. So I have now two versions of sf-httpd.conf, one for 
apache and one for apache-ssl. Not ideal but it works for now. If I have 
some time again, I will see if we can integrate it again, or somebody else 
must have done this already. I have apache-ssl 1.3.26.1+1.48 installed.

Thanks for your reactions and advise.

regards, Kees
