Hello all. I'm facing a problem with a certificate I purchased from rapidssl.com. I'm doing everything correct, as far as configuring the ssl.conf in Apache (httpd-2.0.50-1.0)
is considered.
I've copied the server keys to the right places, gotten my certificate - copied it right, and when I refer to them in my ssl.conf file, apache just doesn't start!! It doesn't give any configuration file errors when I do
apachectl stop,
like it does if there normally are any errors. Even when I do
apachectl start
there are no errors on the console. The httpd error_log says that Init : could not read certificate file blah.crt
Could this be because I'm using apache SSL instead of mod_ssl? How do I tell which I'm using?? What are the salient differences?
Actually, i should have been doing apachectl startssl, but that wasn't the problem. I got an improperly formatted certificate - once these chaps emailed me the certificate afresh, it ran fine.
In fact, if you do service httpd start, ssl starts as well. Thanks!!
