Hum... yes, it's strange. I'm moving back to apachce. Nginx didn't let css and js files go with https so I'll try to understand the problem.
So... apache now has a problem... (I seam to be bumping into all of them)
Fixed ssl cert by assigning to the domain name the actual "server1.domainname.com" info. That was the problem
No, if I try to access my server through http, I get a "The connection was reset" while if I go through https, it asks me if I want to accept it and then gives the same result as in http.
