    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.
