Hello All,

I’m having issues getting ssl to work with my RoR code. Here is the  
scenario:

[http://myapp.com/account/login](http://myapp.com/account/login) - works  
[https://myapp.com/account/login](https://myapp.com/account/login) - gives me a 404 error.

My stack is apache, mongrel and I am deploying with capastrano.  
Unfortunately, I don’t know what versions I am using for apache or  
mongrel. Do I need to make an alias entry into the virtual hosts? I  
have very little experience configuring servers so any help would be  
greatly appreciated.

Thanks!  
Dina

The first thing you should do is open your apache log files and check  
them for errors. Only then you can see what to do next.

The error logs are usually in “/usr/local/apache2/logs/”.

Good luck.
