Re: [cobalt-users] SSL and PHP3

["Robert Davis" <rdavis@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ahoy

On the RaQ3, SSL runs as a module, and starts with the httpd server.

On the RaQ2, SSL runs as a separate server, and must be separately started.

try this command: /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd start

Then enter your "challenge phrase"

Now try ps again.

If none of this works, I will send you the relevant portions of my
httpd.conf and httpsd.conf for you to compare
