I have a bit of a problem here. My Apache+mod_ssl dies a short while
after I start it. I'm running a Red Hat 6.2, kernel 2.2.16 system,
with Apache 1.3.12 and the latest tar.gz mod_ssl. I compiled the
sources and everything was working until recently.

What I did that might have caused this:

* I have overwritten the /etc/httpd/conf/ssl* directories with the
  /usr/src/apache/conf/ssl* ones

How it happens:

If I run 'apachectl startssl', I see the 'Server foo.com:443 (RSA),
Enter pass phrase:' prompt. If I just wait, without entering anything,
I get this a couple of seconds later:

Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found.
**Stopped
/usr/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

It just pops up spontaneously, without me doing anything. If, however,
I go ahead and enter the passphrase, it just returns me to the prompt,
and as I check out, there's no httpd running. Same happens if I run
'apachectl start' (silent return to prompt, no run).

Is it because of the certificate files? If so, how can I make it work?
Thanks in advance.
