Newb Question on Ports...

I just came across Proxmox and am very interested in using it at my small business. Right now we have 5 machines that are each doing their own thing (Trixbox, Zimbra, Magento, Joomla and a Windows server). Looks like Proxmox could combine these with the correct hardware and make my server count go down :)

I've just installed Proxmox (1.6) on a machine to "play" with and have run into a problem and being a Newb I'm looking for community support on what I'm sure is a basic question related to port 443 (https) access to Debian appliance (64-bit).

Right now I am doing everything on a local Proxmox server and have not tried to gain access outside our subnet. I am trying to access a web server via http and https. http works like a charm but I can't get https to go. I was wondering if there is either a configuration issue on the apache2 server (that I can't find) or if port 443 is blocked and not accessable by virtual machines?

The Proxmox server is installed on 192.168.1.30 and I've create a single Deb 6 64-bit appliance at 192.168.1.31. I have installed a Zend/Magento server on the Deb appliance and can access the Magento demo server via http with no problem (port 80). But port 443 gives me the page can not be found error. I am accessing the machines via IP address and not name (http://192.168.1.31/ or https://192.168.1.31)

I've checked/re-checked the server and it looks to me like https is configured correctly. Just want to make sure I'm not trying to do something that Proxmox is not ment to do. I should be able to get to port 443 on VMs located on the machine, right?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure to understand your question... If you have a "guest" Debian 6, in kvm virtualization (since you state is 64 bit), you have full network access with it, there is not filtering by proxmox. You can use tcpdump in the guest and see that packets reach your guest, if https is not responding, probably is an apache problem. Unfortunatly I'm not expert of apache, but I'm sure you have to configure it someway to make it reply to https request instead of http.
So, back to your question:
right, you should be able to reach https in VMs :)
