Good question, Fred!  That might be the problem, though I am skeptical.  I 
used to use a different firewall system that I knew well, but now that 
ipchains is no longer configured with Linux for this particular kernel (Linux 
2.4-10), I can't tell you what firewall I actually have up.  This I will have 
to resolve.   I wanted to install IC to my RH server, but that is where I 
have the Foundation demo running and I didn't want to mix the Demo with the 
"live"... so I'm on a SuSE system muddling my way through.  One more forced 
learning curve (with their new tables-based Firewall).

You can click on the "Catalog is Offline" link at http://hostahaven.com and 
see that the secure server is actually up and running...

and then select "Hosta - B".  Select the Red hyperlink to Hosta 'Banana 
Boat'.    Enter a Quantity (you'll like Banana Boat, it's a great Hosta :-) ) 
, then click on Check Out.    That is when I get the 404 error.

Apache 2.0.35, Linux 2.4-10, Perl 5.6.1, someday maybe php 4.2.  Since I have 
the secure server coming up to an index page, I'm thinking that it is 
working, but I am not familiar with how IC makes the transition from an 
http:80 server to an http:443 server.  

Maybe the problem is that the system can't create the process.html file?  I 
did a <find> on the server for >process.html< and it does not exist, so it 
must be being created on-the-fly.  

Of course, I wish there were some documentation that could help me.  I have 
the Developer's Guide and it's a start, but it assumes I know RH 
Interchange-eaze.   Is there another Guide that might explain this further?  

Thanks in advance for any help you might offer, Fred Pope or other IC 
Wizards... I want to make sure the order processing part will work well 
before I devote hours and hours to adding inventory items... 

Finally, I just now noticed that my access to "Admin" is GONE!--it has 
mysteriously "disappeared" ... I'm starting to have *not* so much fun... :-(
