Apache and SSL

PcHammer · 01-10-2003, 03:37 AM

I'm trying to use apache (1.3.26) with mod_ssl on my slacware system.
I have created all with apacheconf and when i try to start it with
/usr/sbin/apachectl startssl i get and error:

Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found.
**Stopped

I checked all my entries and they are all correct.
in mod_ssl.conf
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache/ssl.key/server.key

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 963 Jan 10 09:27 /etc/apache/ssl.key/server.key

So realy don't see the problem. If anyone had this problem pls msg me.

regards, PcHammer

Look inside your key file, is it encrypted? it may say something like Proc-Type: ENCRYPTED

if so see if getting rid of the encryption helps.
In my ssl server I'm using a private key that's 887 in size, the encrypted one that I don't use is 963bytes.
