I am totally stuck here as I am not a server bod, so am in need of help...

I have apache running on windows 2003, running a site http://www.madeupdomain.com on port 80. All ok there.

I want to run https://www.madeupdomain.com too.

I have the SSL cert sorted, and can see the little padlock thingy when i go to the https site, but I get a 403 forbidden error.

I added an extra Directory declaration in the httpd.conf with the follow sys links etc, and that worked, I saw my page, but the non SSL site stopped working. Not good.

So I'm stuck.

should i be using virtual hosts for the different ports? If so how?

Is someone able to provide an example of a typical httpd.conf for this setup so I can understand what needs to be done. I've searched a fair bit for a solution, but have never found a complete answer that i can understand.

Thanks

Listen 80
Listen 443

NameVirtualHosts *:80
NameVirtualHosts *:443

<VirtualHost _default_:80>
DocumentRoot (same as host in main server config)
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost _default_:443>
DocumentRoot whatever
ServerName whatever (however match the "common name" used when creating certs)
whatever else you wish
</VirtualHost>

ok, added that info.

apache starts, which is good

http site is fine

https site gives:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Do I need to add the Options Indexes FollowSymLinks etc for the ssl directory?

okay, with a bit of trial and a lot of error I got it working.

I added the following to the virtualhost declaration in the ssl.conf i'm using

Code:
<Directory "x:/xxx/xxx">
    SSLOptions +StdEnvVars
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>


what it means, I don't know, but it was what the non ssl site uses. Hopefully someone can tell me if there's anything in there that shouldn't be for ssl
