If you are hosting more than your own domain, you will need to use a vhost configuration. See the apache docs, c'mon man, we can't do all the work for you. :? If you still have problems post back here with the error messages.

no i dont use vhosts. yeah. i have been searching around. thats why i havent posted. Would it be better to setup a password to access the dir like is described here:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/auth.html under Getting it working? or would it be better to:
Quote:
How can I create an SSL server which accepts all types of ciphers in general, but requires a strong ciphers for access to a particular URL?

Obviously you cannot just use a server-wide SSLCipherSuite which restricts the ciphers to the strong variants. But mod_ssl allows you to reconfigure the cipher suite in per-directory context and automatically forces a renegotiation of the SSL parameters to meet the new configuration. So, the solution is:

# be liberal in general
SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL

<Location /strong/area>
# but https://hostname/strong/area/ and below
# requires strong ciphers
SSLCipherSuite HIGH:MEDIUM
</Location>

from: http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_howto.html?

Ultimately i want ONLY me to be able to access that dir/file to view whats going on. So thats why i was thinking about the dir access thing. What do yall think? Or is there a better way than what i have posted?

i have the directory password thing working but i still cant get it to only open through SSL. i want it where if i go to it through SSL it works and if i goto it through regular http it will default to my homepage(not going to the ACID page).

Also on the password part...is there a way to make it ask for a password everytime? Digest doenst work as AuthType.

You need to put

Code:
SSLRequireSSL


in the part of your apache config that defines the directory for acid. Make sure the SSL side of things works first.
