The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

os x web server (apache) fails to start when SSL security button checked

Asked by jesterepsilon in Apache Web Server

Tags: apache, mac

Mac OS X Server 10.3, web services (apache)

We have obtained an SSL certificate for our server, have installed it, and have configured SSL settings via ServerAdmin.  When we click the Enable SSL check box, and restart the service, the service fails to restart.  Unclicking the check box and restarting works.  The error_log of a successful start looks like:

Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf
 Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/0001_x.x.x.x_443_yadda.yadda. yadda. yadda.conf
 Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/virtual_host_global.conf

-- the log on an unsuccessful start:

[Tue Oct  5 11:04:42 2004] [notice] SIGUSR1 received.  Doing graceful restart
Processing config directory: /etc/httpd/sites/*.conf
 Processing config file: /etc/httpd/sites/0001_x.x.x.x_443_yadda.yadda. yadda. yadda.conf

[Tue Oct  5 11:04:42 2004] [alert] httpd: Could not determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName

Multiple retries to start fail and no error messages are generated.

Any suggestions?
