when i sign a csr with my own-CA key (i dont know if it's the good way ...) apache refuse to start could it be because it don't know this CA and refuse a false signed cert ???? the ssl log looks like that: [24/Jul/2001 16:02:25 00189] [error] OpenSSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch [24/Jul/2001 16:03:00 00224] [info] Server: Apache/1.3.20, Interface: mod_ssl/2.8.4, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.6a [24/Jul/2001 16:03:00 00224] [warn] You are using mod_ssl under Win32.
