guys,

        here is the web page for my network guy's cut and paste page.

http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org/index.php/Deploying_a_FreeBSD_6.2_Server#Configuring_Mail_Services

        We need to generate SSL keys for the Apache server. 

        BElow this is a wiki style box is the following trio of
        openssl commands.  The second command gives me some error
        messages and dies.  Can anybody figure out what I need to do
        to get openssl running?


        # openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024
        # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr
        # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /root/server.csr -signkey 
/root/server.key -out /root/server.crt

        Then the instructions:

        Copy the certs to the destination directory. 

        Followed by more commands to cut and paste:

        # cp ~/server.key /usr/local/etc/apache22/
        # cp ~/server.crt /usr/local/etc/apache22/


        One other thing that is confusing is what openssl has to do
        with apache.  Pointers to any tutorials or other documentation
        would be a huge help.

        thanks in advance,

        gary
