apache service with ssl configureation does not start

wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers

[lindaonline15]

Hi,
I am trying to configure ssl for my server, i've tried every possible ways but the apache service just fails to start...
when I try to check the syntax, I get this message:

VirtualHost configuration:
wildcard NameVirtualHosts and _default_ servers:
*:443         is a NameVirtualHost
     default server localhost (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:228)
     port 443 namevhost localhost (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:228)
Syntax OK

maybe I should share few parts of my codes. in httpd.conf I have:

NameVirtualHost *:443
Listen 443
ServerAdmin root@localhost
ServerName localhost

in ssl.conf I have:

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerAdmin root@localhost
#    DocumentRoot /var/www/html
#    ServerName localhost
    ServerAlias analyzer
    ProxyPass / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    ProxyPassReverse / http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    ErrorLog /var/logs/httpd/analyzer-error.log
    CustomLog /var/logs/httpd/analyzer-access.log combined
    SSLEngine On
    SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key
    SSLProxyEngine on
</VirtualHost>

<Proxy http://127.0.0.1:8000/*>
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from all
    AuthName "analyzer"
    AuthType Basic
    AuthUserFile /var/www/.htpasswd
    Require valid-user
</Proxy>

any clues what is the cause of the problem..?

ok, that got fixed!
the problem was a typo for error logs path.
instead of:
ErrorLog /var/logs/httpd/analyzer-error.log
CustomLog /var/logs/httpd/analyzer-access.log combined

it had to be:
ErrorLog /var/log/httpd/analyzer-error.log
CustomLog /var/log/httpd/analyzer-access.log combined

i cannot believe i wasted that much of time on a single 'S'!
anyways... now i have actually another problem, and that is that sometimes it does pop-up for the authentication and sometimes not...
I need to use a simple basic authentication actually... nothing complicated... any clues?
