Joe, Event Type: Error Event Source: Service Control Manager Event Category: None Event ID: 7024 Date: 2/2/2006 Time: 8:20:18 AM User: N/A Computer: UNDERDOG Description: The Apache2 service terminated with service-specific error 1. When I edit ssl.conf to point to a single-SAN certificate for another IP-based virtual web site, Apache starts up smartly with no errors. --Doc Robert G.

Apache2 refuses to start with this Dual SAN > cert. mod_ssl doesn't care about what subjectAltName extensions might be in the certificate, though it might cause false warnings about subject CN mismatches. What error is being printed when the server fails to start? What does the error_log say?
