Setting up apache w/SSL

[Gogeta70]

Ok, so i'm setting up my home web server again, and just for fun, i guess, i wanted to set up SSL as well. I've managed to generate my certificate and all that but when i set the configuration file options to enable SSL, apache won't start. I've googled around a bit, but didn't find any help there. I'm installing this on Windows XP, and i know bad_brain has installed ssl recently, so maybe he, or someone else can help. Thanks in advance.

Oh, and here is what i added to the httpd.conf file:

Code: Select all

Listen 443 
<VirtualHost www.G70net.com:443>
ServerName www.g70net.com
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.key"
</VirtualHost>

DocumentRoot directive is missing:

Code: Select all

Listen 443
<VirtualHost www.G70net.com:443>
ServerName www.g70net.com
DocumentRoot /path/to/site
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.crt"
SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.key"
</VirtualHost> 

and if possible better use the IP here:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost www.G70net.com:443> 

it's known to be more reliable to use the IP....

Hmm, apache still won't start:

Code: Select all

#Listen 443 
#<VirtualHost 75.81.***.**:443>
#ServerName www.g70net.com
#DocumentRoot "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs"
#SSLEngine on
#SSLCertificateFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.crt"
#SSLCertificateKeyFile "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/server.key"
#</VirtualHost>

hm, is the NameVirtualHost directive at the beginning of the the vhost config file? it has to be outside of the virtualhosts containers...

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost 75.81.***.**:443

if it still don't works feel free to post the config on http://code.suck-o.com so I can have a look...

Ok, i'll post my config file, but i noticed something in the logs:

Code: Select all

[notice] Parent: Received restart signal -- Restarting the server.

It says on line 480 of httpd.conf, invalid command "SSLEngine"?

(don't mind the date/time, i still need to set my clock lol)

uncomment line 119, the SSL module isn't enabled, don't forget to restart Apache afterwards....
