How to start apache, ssl????

Dear experts,

I'm using:
Redhat Advanced Server. Oracle 9.2

I installed Oracle last night. At the tail end, I
got the message:

The HTTP Server can be accessed using the following URLs:

Non SSL Mode:
http://red:7777

SSL mode (executed at install time):
http://red:7778
https://red:4443

Last night, all these ports worked in a browser.

---------

Today, after looking at number of executable, and
configuration files, I started apache:

cd /opt/oracle92/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/bin

../apachectl start
../apachectl start: httpd started


Using the browser:

http://red:7777
- this works.

but this does not:

http://red:7778
- could not connect to host red (port 7778)

https://red:4443
- could not connect to host red (port 4443)

netstat -a | grep 7777
tcp 0 0 *:7777 *:* LISTEN
tcp 1 0 red:33091 red:7777 CLOSE_WAIT
tcp 1 0 red:33087 red:7777 CLOSE_WAIT

[root@localhost bin]# netstat -a | grep 7778
- nothing

[root@localhost bin]# netstat -a | grep 4443
- nothing


- the ports are in the configuration file:

cat /opt/oracle92/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf | grep 777
Port 7777
Listen 7777
Port 7778
Listen 7778
# Example: ProcNode abc.com 7777
ProcNode red 7777
ProcNode red 7778


cat /opt/oracle92/product/9.2.0/Apache/Apache/conf/httpd.conf | grep 444
Listen 4443
<VirtualHost _default_:4443>
Port 4443

Why are the ports: 7778, and 4443 not working?
I'm sure it is because of the ssl. How do get it to work?


Thanks

Use "apachectl startssl" if you want to run SSL.
