Redirected to -questions: Your problem might be with the dummy SSL certificate which Apache13-mod_ssl installs. IE is unfortunatly not very good about error messages and I have seen it more then once just fail with "Page can't be displayed/DNS or Server failure" instead of complaining that the certificate has issues (unknown issuer, etc.) You can try to generate your own signing authority (CA.pl is a script included in openssl, which is part of the base system, to do so), you can then import that CA cert into IE and generate a certificate for your website.
