Unhappy Apache SSL problem , please help


Dear all,

i am running RedHat 9 , it have RPMs for Apache 2 , i already installed them now i am willing to start the SSL configuration , the SSL RPM is already installed , it also offered me certification file for test .

i started to add the following to httpd.conf file


<IfDefine Have_SSL>
<VirtualHost 10.0.0.1:443>
DocumentRoot /etc/httpd/secure
ServerName www.itpro.com
#ServerAlias domainname.com
ServerAdmin admin@domainname.com
ErrorLog /home/test/error_log
TransferLog /home/test/access_log
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

and i have created a file named home.html under /etc/httpd/secure

then i started the apache with : apachectl startssl

when i am testing it , when i try to connect to
https://10.0.0.1
it send the certifaction messege to me which i have to accept first so i can go forward , that is really perfect i accept it and it show me the apache test page . PERFECT

the problem:
=========
when i try https://10.0.0.1/home.html , it say page not found

i will really getting mad
it sent me the cerification messege so it seem that the configuration is right but when i try to connect to any page under the DocumentRoot directory it say { page not found }

can anyone help please ????

or can anyone tell me how i can configure SSL for RedHat 9

Thanks

You're sure you have /etc/httpd/secure/home.html in place? If so, try loading it again with your https URL, and when you get the 404 not found, head over to your error_log to see what that has to say. Another test to do, while the server is running, is to place the file home.html in the server's main DocumentRoot (the one defined outside of your VirtualHost directive) and then re-load. If it comes up, then your Apache server is looking there, instead.

dear all ,
thanks alot for your kindly help ,
i foud the mistake when you use the command (( apachectl startssl )) it load the configuration from both the httpd.conf and a file names ssl.conf , so if you want to put your ssl configuration in the httpd.conf you only use (( apachectl start )) if you used the apachectl startssl you have to remove the ssl configuration to the ssl.conf file not in the httpd.conf file

thanks
