This has been reported before. I assume you work on a Win32 (NT perhaps)
platform. The odd thing is, you're supposed to type the pass phrase
twice. Yes, it doesn't tell you to do so. Yes, you don't see it's
waiting for you to do this. But that's really what's going on. If you
look at the last line in the log that you sent, it says:
"Init: Requesting pass phrase via builtin terminal dialog"
It's waiting for you to type it a second time. That's why it appears to
hang. Type it twice, and all will work fine. Or use a key with the
passphrase removed. Or use a password program that will, when invoked by
mod_ssl, tell it the password. See the faq for that. But do note that
that too has some dark corners on Win32. I've managed to make it work
only when running apache with the -X option (single instance debug
mode).
