Thanks Bill,Sounds like a plan. Did not know about octal. As for SSL being at fault, I based that only on the error message and the fact that removing mod_ssl allows httpd to start. The fact that it starts but won't accept connections seems signficant, and it seems like the VirtualHost settings in httpd.config and ssl.conf might be another set of tests to consider. However, one thing at a time.

Can you try to start with both or either disabled to see if SSL comes up?We KNOW mod_ssl is at fault here, since, beyond the error message,Are we so sure that when all else fails ssl is at fault? =)httpd starts when mod_ssl is removed. We also know that when it is removed the VirtualHosts won't accept connections. AND, it appears that the PassPhrase is not responsible. (Note, I said, appears, since I am wondering if I actually need to be logged in as my user and then become root, instead of being logged in as root, which I have been?)Logged in as root is required to 'start' apache -- what ID does it run as?Regardless, there ought to be a process of elimination which will isolate the culprit in here somewhere.I would try it with SSl only as see if it works, then slowly add each additional requirement to see what breaks, etc. -- WC (Bill) Jones -- http://youve-reached-the.endoftheinternet.org/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
