no, I do use ssh/sshd and putty to access the machine remotly, but that is not what I am asking for.
imp is the webmail program I use. I can access my mail on that machine via http:\\mymachine.com and the logging in, but I want to use https:\\mymachine.com and that is where my query originates.
You have to set Apache up to use SSL. Apache must be built with SSL enabled, set up a certificate and put the appropriate directives in the apache config file. Details can be found on the Apache site:
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/ssl/ssl_faq.html
BTW, we prefer bottom posting here.

I have fedora core 1 installed and have apache and horde and imp all running and it seems to work great. Now I want to change the login to be able to use ssl. I have mode_ssl and openssl installed from fedora but have no idea how to enable ssl. Can someone point me in the right direction?
What do you mean by "want the login to use ssl"? The normal login process doesn't use security. I suspect you want to remote access it via ssh, right? In that case, simply run redhat-config-services and enable sshd. You need an ssh client to access it. For Windows, SecureCRT (commercial) or PuTTY (open source) are available.
ok bottom it is -
I now have apache running with the new certs and it is watching both secure and normal ports.
on the normal port (80) I see the imp login page and on the 443 page, I see the Fedora Core test page.
I'd like to not see imp on port 80, and instead I will put a page that I have yet to create. I want imp to be on https (443).
How can I do this?
Or maybe a more basic question: If I am serving both secure and nonsecure pages, will there be two distinct sets of files (trees) under /var/www? If so, what are the two tree roots?
You can put "SSLDisable" in the <virtualhost> section for sites you don't want SSL on. You can also use "Port" directives to only listen on
the ports you want.
