When deciding to become your own root CA, if you enter in identical information
for both your CA cert and your server cert, you will end up with this error in
your logs:

[Sat Oct 30 23:37:17 1999] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (server
www.labrat.com:443, client 204.153.162.107) (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Sat Oct 30 23:37:17 1999] [error] OpenSSL: error:14094412:SSL
routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:sslv3 alert bad certificate [Hint: Subject CN in
certificate not server name!?]

You will also get an error when generating the server.key file the first time,
but you end up with a server.key, so you tend to ignore it.  It ends in this:

error 7 at 0 depth lookup:certificate signature failure

The answer was found here:

This really should go into the http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.4/ssl_faq.html (FAQ
List) under 
'How can I create and use my own Certificate Authority (CA)?'

Awesome product!
