No need to reinstall Apache. This is only a configuration issue. You need to tell Apache where to find the - Server certificate - Private key associated with the server certificate - CA Certificate >From your httpd.conf file, you probably include a configuration file called ssl.conf. This include directive may be enclosed within a condition like <IfDefine SSL>. Chances are that the SSL variable is not defined and therefore the ssl.conf file is not loaded. You can remove this condition altogether (and the associated </IfDefine>), or you can start Apache with the command "apachectl startssl" rather than "apachectl start". The module mod_info is very useful for determining exactly what configuation directives have been loaded into Apache by requesting http://myserver.mydomain.com/server-info which will give you a list of all loaded modules and all associated configuration directives. -ascs -----Original Message----- From: Rex Brooks [mailto:rexb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 09, 2006 2:10 PM To: Richard de Vries Cc: users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [users@httpd] Correction & Question: SSLCertificateFile: RedHat (RHEL4) apache startup failure: ebxml-registry-repository on tomcat on port 6480, with Mambo LAMP Portal on port 8080: Despite Self-Signed Cert: [error] Server should be SSL-aware but ha Here is the httpd error_log for that sequence: [Mon May 08 06:20:21 2006] [notice] core dump file size limit raised to 4294967295 bytes [Mon May 08 06:20:22 2006] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec) [Mon May 08 06:20:22 2006] [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] It's beginning to look like I will have to reinstall apache.
