Here I answer the questions which I got from users. If you dont find an answer feel free to contact me
Q: Why you dont add a describtion howto compile and setup mod_xyz?
A: Because nobody requested it yet and I eighter did not know about a mod_xyz, or I did not found it useful. Feel free
to write me some suggestions what to add to the HOWTO. If there is more than one request, and it makes sense, it will maybe
added in further releases.
Q: If my clients are connecting to https://myserver.org an errormessage similar to this appears "Certificate not valid"
A: The certificate produced like descibed in this HOWTO is just a self-signed certificate. This means the CA (Certification Authority) is you. Your CA is not recognized as a valid CA by your users browser. You can eighter install the certificate on your users machines (Makes sense in small Intranet enviroments) or buy a certificate from a CA that is recognized by all major browsers. An example of such a CA is Verisign http://www.verisign.com. Such a certificate cost approx. 300 USD a year, depending on the strenght of the key (56 or 128 Bits)
Q: When I request a php file, the browser want to download it. Whats wrong?
A: You forgot to tell apache what to do with the php files. So the php files are not processed by the php engine.
To do so, add the application type like descibed in
Q: Does this HOWTO also work on other platforms?
A: Not sure, Solaris should work, AIX and HP-UX do not. I did not got the time to try FreeBSD yet. My goal is to provide
a version of the HOWTO for all major Un*x platforms.
