can you run a site with ssl on a computer on a router or do you need a dedicated ip for this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Not 100% sure of that however.Well my problem is that when i enable ssl in my lighttpd.conf file and i go to my site all i get is a blank page regardless if that page requires ssl. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

got it working, thanks for you help. I am running behind a router too.
most important part to lighttpd.conf is:
# SSL
$SERVER["socket"] == "70.87.55.194:443" {
server.document-root = "/home/foobar/public/"
fastcgi.server = (
".fcgi" =>
( "localhost" =>
(
"socket" =>
"/home/lighttpd/var/run/lighttpd-fcgi-mwprod-ssl.socket",
"bin-path" =>
"/home/foobar/public/dispatch.fcgi",
"bin-environment" => ( "RAILS_ENV" =>
"production" ),
"max-load-per-proc" => 25,
"min-procs" => 1,
"max-procs" => 4,
"idle-timeout" => 30
)
)
)
#### SSL engine
ssl.engine = "enable"
ssl.pemfile = "/home/lighttpd/foobar.com.pem"
}
