ssl with apache again

[Aaron Howell]

Hi Greg,
Look in your httpd.conf file for the lines user= and group=.
The user= line is the important one.
make sure that /var/log/apache is writable (in other words owned by) the user that apache is specified to run as.
Then you should be ok.
Regards
Aaron

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.
