[wplug] Help with Apache and SSL

[Ken Rambler]

It seems that one must have a virtual entry in httpd.conf with
<VirtualHost domain.com:80> along with a ServerName domain.com plus a
Listen www.domain.com:80 all in addition to the ssl.conf (which is IP
based).

I think I have it now...

You probably need to add two VirtualHost entries ... one for the HTTPS,
and another for the HTTP.

There may be a fancier, MACRO-type thingie you can use, but I never do.
Usually there are slight differences between what I want to allow access
to over HTTPS and what I want to make accessable via HTTP, and that
requires two configs.  For example, my SquirrelMail is only available
via HTTPS, so the ssl.conf has an alias that the http.conf doesn't.
