Woohoo!!! It worked!! Your post sparked me to start playing around
with httpd a bit more...here's my problem:
/usr/local/apache/sbin/httpd -DSSL &
Was sticking the process in the background along with the prompt for
the pass phrase. I could have sworn I had tried it w/o the & earlier
and it didn't work. I may not have tried it after upgrading to 1.3.3
and 2.0.13.
Perhaps we can add this to the FAQ for other dummies like myself.
"Why does apache with mod_ssl not prompt me for a password and then
die?"
"You must not run the process in the background"
Of course, it can go into more detail than that, though.
I want to thank everyone who responded to my problems!
