Hi abc,

According to the instructions above the “deny” word only appears in the /etc/apache2/mods-available/proxy.conf file but yours is complaining about the /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/myapp

I don’t know if your sites-enabled/myapp file is special in anyway, I’m by no means an SSL/Apache expert. I’d check the contents of these files against what it written above and try again.

Hope this helps.

Tom

Thanks!

This really helped a lot.

I ended up having to apply this too: http://seanharper.net/2008/01/22/webfaction-and-ssl_requirement/

Also, since you are setting up Apache, you can lighten your load by having Apache serve your static content and images instead of Mongrel.

Cheers
