My config is exactly the factory original except for my domain name, of course. The result of uncommenting those lines is that the server listens (and serves fine) on port 443 securely, but doesn''t listen on port 80 at all. Running ''netstat -n --listening'' shows no one listening on port 80. I''ve tried all kinds of experiments with the ''Port'' and ''BindAddress'' directives after that, but it never works. Any ideas? -Jeff Rush

As you''re probably aware, the virtual hosts can be distinguished by IP address, port number, and server name. The last works only for browsers with implement the latest version of HTTP. Together with this flexibility comes a fair amount of complexity, which they haven''t gotten quite right in the manual. :-( While we''re on the topic of things in the manual which don''t quite work out that way in real life, can anyone confirm that mod_perl works for the Secure Web Server running under RH Linux 5.1? I have a fairly vanilla Pentium with RH Linux 5.1, with all the appropriate update RPMs applied, where mod_perl simply refuses to work. It''s recognized, when I have it installed mod_perl statements in the Apache configuration files are recognized instead of simply resulting in error messages, but any file which should be executed is simply served as text/plain of the perl source code. Tech support has yet to answer the simple question of whether it works for other people on 5.1. Thanks. --Jon Radel jon@radel.com

Man this was loaded with typos. Forgive me for making it harder to decypher than it already was. Rod On Tue, 25 Aug 1998, Roderick A.
