RE: [tlug] Apache: getting http and https (SSL) to work at the same time

["James Cluff" <jc@example.com>]

Scott,

Wow I wondered about that problem for about one week, and thanks you your
"stupid question" it took about 5 minutes to fix my problem.  I thought it
was a firewall problem, but didn`t know exactly where to look to fix it.

Thanks!  Your my Hero.

James

Probably a stupid question, but your iptables or chains is allowing
port 443, correct?  (RH's default firewall blocks it by default).  If
that were the case, even a crossover cable connection would be
blocked.

HTH (but I suspect it's something you already checked)
