Hi Peter,
Thanks. That's what I thought.

That's ok then.

looking at it, wouldn't this enable different vhosts to have individual
certs? Just change that "/usr/local/apache/etc/ssl.crt/server.crt" to what
ever it need to be to pi\oint to this vhosts cert. ???

<If Define SSL>
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
.......
SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile    /usr/local/apache/etc/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/apache/etc/ssl.key/server.key
</VirtualHost>
</IfDefine>

I'll give it a go with the 'snakeoil' cert.

same here, but may be more in the future.

Not a major problem for me indivudually, I have 250 of them, but a pain none
the less when I could do it all under vhosts. I'll see.

Thanks
