Apache SSL

The last time I wrote about Apache SSL I made a mistake. At the time I was under the impression that the apache SSL installation can only be used to deliver pages over HTTPS and I mistakenly thought that I would have to run a separate http daemon to deliver non SSL pages.

I couldn't have been more wrong, I have managed to configure my httpsd to delivery both SSL and non SSL pages on my PC. Since I am the only one accessing this server I am making use of an 'unverfied' certificate. The make certificate step described in the Apache SSL readme file did not work for me and I had to create the certificates using the open SSL commands as described in another howto.
