I recently enabled SSL on my linux box and I'm trying to figure out how to use it. I tried just typing in https://sitename but that did nothing for me. How do I initiate and keep the SSL connection?

if I'm not mistaken (and it happens quite a bit) that you can't jsut turn it on and use it. you have to have other programs do run it. I am looking into that right now.
here, this should get you rolling. it is redhat but shouldn't make a difference, still the same httpd.conf file.
forgot the site.

Cool, thanks again scoutt. I need to get myself a good certificate but I've made my own which is up now. Thats what my problem was, didn't have a certificate up for my site. The Cobalt admin page has a page for entering all the SSL information. Cobalt is a very good server with it's admin page, very handy tool.
