ssl with apache again

[Gregory Nowak]

Thanks Aaron.

Even though it didn't make sense to me why apache would be able to write to all but one log file, I changed the user and group on its log directory, and it works.

However, I still can't use https.

According to my ssl_engine.log, ssl works.

Here is a demonstration of what happens when I try to access https urls. Yes, my lynx has https support, and yes, the sqwebmail binary is running properly. As you can see Aaron, the rewrite rule you gave me does work.

So, my only guess is that I screwed up somewhere in mod_ssl.conf. If someone could please take the time to look it over and help me learn, please write me privately. Your time would be appreciated. Thanks.
