Hi,

This has been bugging me since last Friday. I have had the latest version of apache and mod_ssl installed on my server and have created a new httpd conf file to house the new setting for the SSL certificate, etc..

However whenever I type the command apachectl startssl and they type ps | -ef grep httpd it says there are no processes running and I cannot access my web site. There are no errors in the logs and only the lines below in the ssl engine log, does anyone have any ideas as to why the processes are not starting.
There are no password on the cert or private key's.

Thanks, Michael.

Hi I have typed the commands openssl s_client -connect localhost;443 -state -debug and also the command curl https://localhost/ and get the following error message.

Does anyone have an idea of what the last bit means, unkown protocal and how to get around it or will it mean a re-compile.
