Hi everybody, I've got apache 1.3 installed and running pretty much "straight out of the box", and I have mod-ssl installed but not configured yet. On a Woody box, that is. I want to have regular http access to most of the stuff on my server, but also a "private" area that would require https *and* some sort of user authentication (I assume auth-basic over https would be fine). I have a single, dynamic IP address; so my domain is accessed through dynDNS. According to the mod-ssl manual, I canNOT solve this using virtualhosts... https virtualhosts won't work without having separate IP addresses, apparently. So I *think* what I need to do is to have two separate invocations of apache running all the time: one listening for http on port 80 and the other listening for https on port, umm... 443 I think it was. Now, I'm very new to webserver administration and Apache, so I'm gonna need a whole lot of reading materials for this. I'd like to avoid spending money on books, and am wondering if anyone can point me to some *detailed* on-line resources on setting up the Apache-with-mod-ssl side of this... Also, guides to webserver administration in general would be highly welcome. And finally, any info on whether there's special configuration required in order to have these two servers running side by side on one box. I don't want them fighting over resources and killing each other off, obviously. Thanks for any pointers. -- ,-----------------------------------------------------------------------------. > -ScruLoose- | I was just a boy then, now I'm only a man. < > Please do not | - Pink Floyd < > reply off-list. | < `-----------------------------------------------------------------------------'
