currently running apache 2.0.59/php 4.x/mysql 4.x on a home connection with about 10 sites running off of it. this has always been for educational purposes and i must say, i have learned a lot 
now, i want to run a site encapsulated in ssl, so i have mod_ssl and openssl. all seems good, i can make the certificates and everything, but when i try to go to the site, it is like apache can't find the site.
i read and read, and what i found is that when using ssl you need to have ip based sites, not name based. is this true?
if it is, how do i install another instance of 2.0.59? basically the current setup will stay as it is and the new instance will run 1 site on port 443. do i need to setup a additonal nic in the machine? and give it a static ip through my router? this is not a problem, i just need to know how to do this, because setting up ssl has been very challenging thus far.
again, i have all the software and have no issues if there is another entire setup of apache, i just need to know exactly what i need to do.
thanks, and an excellent forum from what i have read so far 
bob
edit - i should add that this is on a win2kpro sp4 box |

You can configure a static IP for your network card and add 1,2,3,... aditional IP's. Just hit the advance button (I think it's called advance can't check -> at work).
THen search the forum on how to setup IP based vhosting and make on of them the SSL host. |

why would you want to do that? It would take up more memory than vhosts.
But i you want to create 2 config files one for reg and one for ssl
tYou can install via:
httpd -k install -n Apache -f conf/reg.conf
httpd -k install -n ApacheSSL -f conf/ssl.conf
httpd -k start/stop -n (namehere) to start stop |
