Redhat secure server - Nov 1999 - Connection Refused

Hi all:

I have installed the RedHat Secure Web server 2.0 and have generated a 
key (with the make genkey utility) and a test certificate (with the 
make testcert utility). The key and the test certificate are stored as 
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.key and 
/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt, respectively, and these are also 
the paths specified in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.

I shut down Apache and re-started (entering the password, which was 
accepted, and the httpds daemon reported that the startup was 
successful). However, when I try to connect through my browser to the 
server homepage (as described in the installation manual, section 
3.6), I get the error message "Connection was refused" etc., instead 
of the setup page described in the installation manual.

A search in the archive was unsuccessful (maybe I searched for the 
wrong keywords), and basically, I have no idea what to try next to fix 
the problem (there is no trouble shooting section in the manual). Any 
help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
-- Joakim

This generally means your server ISN''T running.

Check the output of the error log --  /var/log/httpd/error_log.

try https:// and your ip... and makes sure your set to recieve certificates
in your browser''s preferences.

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd status to see if you''re running at all.
