So unless "https:..." requires something additional in the way of arguments, that doesn't seem to be the issue. I'm hoping someone who has done this remembers what special installation issues there might be. When I look on the web I see lots of discussion, but it's pretty hard to figure out how much of it is currently applicable and how much of it is ancient history. Was PHP built with openssl enabled? If not, that's ya problem.

phpinfo() is your friend. -Stut
