The online documentation assumes that you've got an OS distributor packaged installation. ie, that it was built with ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var The fact that its looking in /usr/local/etc/pki suggests you've just run the configured script with its default settings. You can either move your certificates to this location, or change the configure arguments during build Regards, Daniel -- |: Red Hat, Engineering, London -o- http://people.redhat.com/berrange/ :| |: http://libvirt.org -o- http://virt-manager.org -o- http://ovirt.org :| |: http://autobuild.org -o- http://search.cpan.org/~danberr/ :| |: GnuPG: 7D3B9505 -o- F3C9 553F A1DA 4AC2 5648 23C1 B3DF F742 7D3B 9505 :| -- Libvir-list mailing list Libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
