|Wrap your generic ssl config stuff in an <ifmodule mod_ssl.c>. Stuff 
|like session cache, mutex, seeds, passphrase dialog, etc. Then create a 
|virtualhost for ssl. You can run it on the same IP you use for the main 
|server. Something like:
|
|<Virtualhost your.ip.addy:443>
|# normal vhost type stuff, if you want it, read the docs.
|SSLEngine On
|SSLCertificateFile    /path/to/ssl.crt/server.crt
|SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/ssl.key/server.key
|SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown
|</VirtualHost>
|
|Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction. Read apache's docs, 
|they're pretty good.

So yeah, I just came across the statement I was looking for in the mod_ssl
docs...-------
Is it possible to provide HTTP and HTTPS with a single server?    [L]

Yes, HTTP and HTTPS use different server ports, so there is no direct
conflict between them. Either run two separate server instances (one binds
to port 80, the other to port 443) or even use Apache's elegant virtual
hosting facility where you can easily create two virtual servers which
Apache dispatches: one responding to port 80 and speaking HTTP and one
responding to port 443 speaking HTTPS. -------

I was planning on doing SSL in a virtual host next, but was hoping that
wouldn't be required.  I'll give the virtual hosts a try, but has anyone
done HTTP and HTTPS on the same apache server w/o virtual hosts?

peace, cheers
