hi,
i got a problem concerning *encrypted* private key files and the
script by suse i usually use to start apache. as mentioned in the
mod_ssl manual i set the 'SSLPassPhraseDialog builtin' option
for apache to prompt me for the passphrase at startup (of
apache). but when i use '/sbin/init.d/apache restart' i do not
get asked for this, instead the following error-message gets
displayed:
> flash:/etc/httpd # Apache/1.3.6 mod_ssl/2.3.5 (Pass Phrase
> Dialog)
> Some of your private key files are encrypted for security
> reasons.
> In order to read them you have to provide us with the pass
> phrases.
>
> Server www.xyz.ch:443
> Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found.
even if the paths are ok and the private key is readable by the
webserver...
what's wrong, how can i have apache to prompt me for the pwd?
or is it something with the scope of the ssl-options in
httpd.conf? currently i have my keys in subdirectories of
/etc/httpd, which is the default if i am right (apache
server-root is /usr/local/httpd with me). but i have
also tried to place the keys inside the server-root with the same
effect...
thanks for your help
daniel
