Hello,
I'm putting together a healthcare demo using the Mercury 1.0 image. The client requires that HTTPS be part of the demo.
I've installed everything and have all up and running. When I try to access an https page, the request times out. I'm not an Apache2 expert, so I'm hoping someone can give me a tip on where I went wrong. The following is a debug listing of the Apache2 error log --

Any ideas on why SSL pages aren't being served?
Thank you,

Likely has nothing to do with
Likely has nothing to do with Drupal or Mercury-- I'm running ssl on Mercury after simply copying my Apache config. Therefore my guess is that you're likely to get a better (quicker) answer by looking at Apache forums. As always, YMMV. Good luck!

I found the problem...
Amazon EC2 by default doesn't allow access on SSL port 443. I opened access and all is working fine.
Yep
Once you get to know them, EC2's Security Groups are a great feature. However, they can confuse the living heck out of people during the first go-round.
