Hello Ernie,

thanks for the link and all the help. I finally managed to get it to
run. The error was a misconfiguration of my apache not listening on the
SSL port 443 (the "Listen" directive was there but masked by an
"IfModule" directive requiring mod_ssl). Once again thanks for your
help.

Regards,
Thomas
