ssl with apache again

[Janina Sajka]

Just a guess, Greg,

but check 

1.)	that the directory and file exist -- perhaps do a touch on the 
file

2.)	that that the file is owned apache:root (on Red Hat), 
www-data:www-data (on Debian), or whatever it is in Slack, look at your 
index.html to find out.

3.)	That the directory and files are writable.

Usually, these errors are system setup issues in my experience, not 
application setup errors.

However, if I try to access anything (including the plain old http://www.romuald.net.eu.org url), lynx gives me the last message that it is waiting for the http request response, and just sits there. In my error_log, I get a reptition of the following.
