As the subject says, I am speaking about the `configure' script for mos_ssl.
crosser@chronos:/src/apache/mod_ssl-2.2.7-1.3.6/$ ./configure --with-apache=...
--with-key=/etc/ssl/private/httpd.key ... <etc>
Configuring mod_ssl/2.2.7 for Apache/1.3.6
+ Apache location: ../apache_1.3.6+ssl (Version 1.3.6)
+ OpenSSL location: /usr/local/ssl
./configure:Error: Cannot find SSL RSA private key file
/etc/ssl/private/httpd.key
The file /etc/ssl/private/httpd.key is unreadable for user "crosser".
Or maybe I sould not have specified --with-key= at all? I did not
think much, I just followed the instructions for the "joe average" :)
