I'm being prompted about your security certificate each time I try to enter, so presumably, I thought you were using your own SLL certed to localhost, but I see now that I was wrong. lol

Works.

There are several interesting things to note, not the least of which is the fact the admin address is different in your config, vs. what is running.

There are a few other subtle differences, and some not so subtle.

Something hinkey is going on.


Can you explain what you mean my admin address is different in my config vs. what is running.

and the subtle differences...they are??

By the way...what do you mean by "works"...?

Were you able to access my server? Because I tried going on dialup on my dad's computer, and I wasn't able to access it. I can only access with computers that are on the same network still.

Unless I'm wrong...maybe you could access it...but why can't anyone else. Does my IP have to resolve around the entire web, kind of like how a domain name works? Does that mean I have to leave my computer running until everything sees my IP address?

Thanks,
Craig

oh..ok

you are right! https works!!

my friend said that it only works because my apache is using mod_ssl

How do I not use that and make it so I can access it without a secure connection?

well, mod_ssl & openssl
but ssl stands for secure sockets layer so i would have thought thatd be a little more obvious ;)

but using it for the transfer of non-critical information hasn't much of a point.

your friend is correct.

quoted from the mod_ssl documentation:
Quote:
Is it possible to provide HTTP and HTTPS with a single server?

Yes, HTTP and HTTPS use different server ports, so there is no direct conflict between them. Either run two separate server instances (one binds to port 80, the other to port 443) or even use Apache's elegant virtual hosting facility where you can easily create two virtual servers which Apache dispatches: one responding to port 80 and speaking HTTP and one responding to port 443 speaking HTTPS.

I know that HTTP is on port 80, but where is HTTPS?

You can run HTTPS on any port, but the standards specify port 443, which is where any HTTPS compliant browser will look by default. You can force your browser to look on a different port by specifying it in the URL like this (for port 666): https://secure.server.dom:666/


With this in mind, you do need that virtual hosting after all. OK, someone else needs to take it from here...I've never tried to run with virtual hosting.

Just having mod_ssl loaded will not immediately initiate port 443 connections; you have to have it configured in the httpd.conf.

The one you display, does not AND as previously mentioned, the serveradmin is different than what I get off the server.

Some directories don't seem to mesh as well.

This leads me to believe the config you displayed is not the one currently running the web server.

What do I change in my httpd.conf file? (It's on the first page of this topic.)

i believe what daemonguy is implying is you should search your server's directory for "httpd.conf" to make sure there's only one and the one you posted is the one your server is using.

what directory is the httpd.conf file you posted in?

root/apache/conf ;)

I believe that's the right one though, because when I changed the email it changed on the server. :?

Create a web page, then have the other user visit the web page. When they click a link or something (what ever you want) it can run a script on the server, either a compiled program or some sort of interpreted script with perl or php or something. The details of doing that can be made more specific if you give us more details and if you visit the programming and scripting forum.
Like Mr Spork, I also write about my interest in alcoholic beverages.
