mod-ssl connection refused

i just installed apache1.3 on my debian sarge box (no gui, sshing into it) and was able set it up no problem. i installed mod-ssl (apt-get), ran mod-ssl-makecert to create my certificate, and added the parts to http.conf that was suggested on http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/31

when i tried loading the page, http://ipaddr no longer works and i get the same error with https://ipaddr: "the connection was refused"

i ran

Code:

openssl s_client -connect localhost:443 -state -debug

and it showed my ssl cert fine.

here's my virtual host code section (where i suspect the problem is):

Code:

<VirtualHost *:81>

        ServerAdmin webmaster@jordan.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/sql-ledger

        ServerName 192.168.1.105

</VirtualHost>





<VirtualHost localhost:443>



<IfModule mod_ssl.c>

        SSLEngine on

        SSLCertificateFile    /etc/apache/ssl.crt/server.crt

        SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/ssl.key/server.key

        SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

</IfModule>



        ServerAdmin webmaster@jordan.com

        DocumentRoot /var/www/sql-ledger

        ServerName 192.168.1.105

</VirtualHost>

any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

That means that apache is not running. Check the apache error-log to find out why it dosn't start

your problem could be some confusion in the config file....

what I can understand..
you need to have site which also has ssl... why not make the default site with
DocumentRoot /var/www/sql-ledger
and remove the Virtual Host declaration with port 81...

next...
make the SSL virtualhost as
<VirtualHost _default_:443>

rest is OK..

so that means http:/ipadr works and also htps://ipadr works...
check also that on /var/www/sql-ledger you have permissions

Also if the problem is not resolved... post the output from error_log...

:p sorry guys, i tried your changes, checked the log file, still wasn't working, then i realized...

I forgot to forward port 443 in my router (i did for my other box, but forgot to do it this time)... my bad.

Things work like a charm now, thanks for your input!
