Please see my previous post for details. I said that mod_ssl was not installed, but a double check showed that it is.My question is only about filenames for SSLCertificateFile and/or SSLCertificateKeyFile.
ApacheSSL Documentation says at http://www.apache-ssl.org/docs.html#SSLCertificateFile:
This is your PEM-encoded server certificate (strictly, it is what SSLeay calls PEM, which isn't really).
Example: SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/apache/certs/my.server.pemWhat the process described in RedHat Sys. Admin. Guide Ch. 26.6-26.8 produces in the file ssl.conf located in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ used to configure SSL support is:
SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt and SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/server.keyThere is a file named server.crt in the specified location, and an server.key file in its corresponding location. Could this lack of a PEM-encoded server certificate, however it is produced, the root cause of httpd start failure?
I have downloaded and installed openssl-0.9.8b and I have also now generated a privkey.pem and a cacert.pem and I have put them in the same directories as the ssl.conf file specified, and edited that file to reflect that, rebooted and httpd still fails to start.
