Description:
I'm unable to get aleph to start when using the start script (exlibris.17) in /etc/init.d

The error I get is as follows :
# ./exlibris.17 start
apache start
(13)Permission denied: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:443
no listening sockets available, shutting down
Unable to open logs
apache start
/exlibris/aleph/a17_1/product/local/apache/bin/httpsd: Command not found
apache start
aleph start
aleph start

(Note, there are two instances of aleph on this server and the 17_7 install starts with no error).

Resolution:
I solved the problem and currently I am able to connect to the link "Blank order form" via https.

The problem was that the Apache 2 was not started up with SSL properly, the Apache 2 with SSL must be startup using httpd with –DSSL flag.

The scripts /exlibris/aleph/u17_1/alephe/apache/bin/apachectl and /exlibris/aleph/u17_1/alephe/apache/bin/apachectl_auto was changed accordingly.

Also the definitions:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Include conf/ssl.conf
</IfModule>
were somehow removed from the file /exlibris/aleph/u17_1/alephe/apache/conf/httpd.conf file . I restored these definitions.
