Hi,

Please note my =
earlier post had a typo in the path of an include example, all actual =
include paths have been checked and are valid.

I'm relatively new to your list and =
configuring Apache with the SSL module enabled and have a newbie =
configuration glitch I've not been able to resolve.

My configuration is:

RH Linux Kernel 2.4.20-8, Apache =
2.0.48, OpenSSL -0.9.6l, PHP 4.3.4,  Apache was compiled with SSL =
and SSL appears to work OK.

My document root is http - =
/www/sd/htdocs, https - /www/sd/htdocs/jobs

I don't want anyone accessing the jobs =
directory so I have a redirect in httpd.conf to send requests for HREF=3D"http://www/sd/htdocs/jobs">http://www/sd/htdocs/jobs to HREF=3D"https://www/sd/htdocs/jobs">https://www/sd/htdocs/jo bs =
instead.

All seems to work fine with http and =
https access with one blaring exception.

My PHP scripts have include directives =
which pull include files from /www/sd/htdocs/include and that all works =
fine if run from one of the http subdirectories i.e.

<?php


    =
include("../include/prepend.php");


    ....


?>

But if I try the above code from a =
https directory, say HREF=3D"https://www/sd/hddocs/jobs">https://www/sd/hddocs/jo bs the =
it will fail with:


PHP Warning:  =
main(../include/prepend.php): failed to open stream: No such file or =
directory in /www/sd/htdocs/jobs/index.php on line 4

There is no problem if I change the =
include location to /www/sd/htdocs/jobs/include, I can run the scripts =
fine.  So it seems I can include at the same level or below but not =
up any level in the directory tree if using https.

I've also tried SSI to include a file =
(for testing) with a similar result:

<!--#include =
file=3D"../include/middle.html" -->


unable to include file =
"../include/middle.html" in parsed file =
/www/sdfair.com/htdocs/jobs/index.shtml

Fails as you can see from the https =
side but works fine if run from HREF=3D"http://www/sd/htdocs/test">http://www/sd/htdocs/test  =
(an area where SSL is not enabled).

This is the case with all other parts =
of the web site without SSL, all scripts with include directives work =
fine.

I've searched the web and SSL =
documentation but I seem to be missing something here and am just =
banging my head against a wall.  I've modified both httpd.conf and =
ssl.conf 'til I'm blue with no change in function.

I imagine this is some SSL =
configuration oversight on my part but so far I've been unable to find =
it and would ask for anyone who may be able to help to please give =
suggestions on what directive(s) are causing this.  I'd really =
appreciate a point in the right direction on a resolution.

Thanks for your help,

.......... Steve
