This should reply to both Paul and Frank:
First, yes, sorry about including all those commented lines but I wanted you to see the .conf files
as I encountered them in case there was an error in the instructions or my implementation of them.

This might give an indication of why it thinks iliffe.ca, the test server, should have a
certificate, apparently it is inherited from ssl.conf (/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:40). This server
is entirely internal here and will never have a certificate since it is only used for testing.
Would I be correct in thinking that ssl.conf should be deleted and relevant lines included in the
proper https virtual server contexts?
Second, neither of SSLCADNRequestFile or SSLCADNRequestPath are defined anywhere in the .conf files.
I am using the default ssl.conf file since the configuration that arises when you do a "dnf install
httpd" on Rocky is very much different from what I have on the old (Fedora 16 was the base) server.
On that one I installed Apache from source.
The "intermediate.crt" file turned up about 5 years ago when I renewed the certificate and I was
lead to believe is required to validate the CA that signed the server certificate. Reading the
current docs suggests that I meed a .pem encoded certificate here but the suffix suggests this is in
.crt format. I do have another certificate that turned up recently (2021 renewal probably) called
www-coaxpublications-ca-chain.pem. It isn't in use on the current server but would this be the one
I need here? If so, would this be the target of the SSLCACertificatePath directive?
To Paul: Rocky Linux is one of the replacements for CentOS and is supplied by CIQ as a FOSS
download. The version I'm using, 9.1, should be more or less equivalent to RHEL 9.1, in any event
it is a derivative of RHEL.
Finally, thank you to both of you - this conversion has been one of the more frustrating things I
have encountered lately.
