Hi
 
 
Need some help Please. I set up my apache 2.217 (installed with openssl module) to enable SSL. Now I did generate a private key(server.key) and a self signed server.cert file and put them in the "conf" folder. I also uncommented : "Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf
 
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so." in the httpd.conf file.
 
Now the moment I uncomment any of the above two lines in the httpd.conf file, and I restart my server it says: "The requested operation has failed".
 
 
Why is that?
 
 
Thanx |

| What is in your error log? Do you get an error while trying httpd -S ? |

What is in the error log?
 
Anything the in the windows event log? |

Nothing in the error log.

Apache is running already. And no, you double-clicked httpd.exe. The MSI is the installer.
 
 
Open up your Services from Administrative Tools in Control Panel. Find "Apache2.2" .. does it say "Started"?

You've got something blown up in your config so it will not act as expected

Self explanitory, it seems these folders do not exist on the hard drive. |
