Hi Stephan, Just yesterday I got my system working with SSL. I chose to take the VirtualHostMonster path as I was getting frustrated with how SiteRoot was working. I'm certainly no expert here, but I found VirtualHostMonster more intuitive to use with httpd.conf (all proxypass and no rewrite) and what you describe below works for me with VHM. Eric.

I set up a site according to unfo's Howto at http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/apache_zserver_ssl.

I have one virtual server on port 80 doing http and another on port 443 doing ssl. The port 80 works with Rewrite rules in httpd.conf. The 443 port works with ProxyPass. In the Zope folder of the virtual server is a folder "ssl" with a SiteRoot pointing at https://www.website.com/.

When I go to the website e.g. with http://www.website.com and down the tree, everything is ok.

When I call https://www.website.com/something/manage I can now authenticate with SSL and everything is fine.

But when I call https://www.website.com (the root of the website) it shows me the content of the /ssl Folder.

Is this the way it should work? What is necessary to let me display the content of the root folder, when I call https://www.website.com/ ?
