if you encrypted the domain server key when you created it.. then you have to enter the passphrase when you see "starting httpd" at boot..
or you can write a shell script to enter it for you and add it to ssl.conf but that kind of ruins the point of encrypting it in the first place if you leave a file containing the password on the system. rgds Franki -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Chris Slater-Walker Sent: Wednesday, 29 January 2003 4:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Creating & Installing SSL key for HTTPD I did the same process a while ago and it worked for me. Only I'm at work right now and I can't access the details of what I did, because they are on my machine at home... however, keep reading: It may be that after "Starting httpd:" apache is expecting a passphrase for the SSL certificate. You can then enter that directly yourself or there is a conf command which can run a script to input the passphrase (which, again, I can't remember exact details of.) When I get home I'll remid myself of how to do it.
