Hi all,

I have installed apache 1.3.14 with modssl 2.7.1 &
openssl 0.9.6 on Solaris 8 (SPARC). I created a
certificate request for Verisign Secure site server
certificate and also generated a self signed
certificate. Untill I get the valid certificate from
Verisign I was using the self signed certificate. It
was working fine , once after getting the Verisign
certificate I replaced the existing certificate with
the new one as per the instructions given in the
verisign site. When I tried to start the apache server
I got this error

'httpd could not be started'

The error log file gives bit more details , like

**** error *****
[Tue Feb  6 14:56:50 2001] [error] mod_ssl: Init:
Unable to read server certificate from file
/usr/local/ssl/certs/www.shaw.com.sg.crt (OpenSSL
library error follows)
[Tue Feb  6 14:56:50 2001] [error] OpenSSL:
error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding
routines:d2i_X509:expecting an asn1 sequence  
****************

I couldnt get anything from this message, Is this a
problem with the certificate or something wrong in my
installations? I dont know why I dont have any
problems when I run with the self signed certificate? 

I approached Verisign many times, I got the standard,
same, auto reply as many times , asking me to contact
the server software vendors. Almost everybody is
trying to redirect me to somebody else rather than
giving me a solution. 

I will be thankful if atleast anyone can give me a
solution (clearly) to solve this problem. I need to
solve this problem very urgently. please.

thanks in advance

regards
Babu
