what is the config you use when "make" openssl... this will be where the
openssl.cnf file will be looked for...
I use
./config openssldir=/usr/local/apache/openssl-0.9.5/apps
I think you can use "Configure" to change this setting without "re-make".
And you can foolow the FAQ on mod_ssl.org to sign you own CA cert which in
turn you can use to sign you server cert. Use "sign.sh" to ease the process.
