Hm... without the SSL session cache, clients will not be able to re- use their SSL sessions. This can have a serious performance impact on your server.

Please put in the main server configuration the following directive:

SSLSessionCache shm:/usr/local/apache2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300

See the following documentation URL for an explanation:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_ssl.html#sslsessioncache

I use following command to start the Apache server instead of "apachectl":
./httpd -k start -f /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd-cob-certs.conf

That is the command apachectl executes, so you're fine there.

Here is the Virtual host configuration we have in the "httpd-cob- certs.conf" file. The only difference between this and the one we were using for self-signed is the directory location in the SSL parameters.

Looks like a fine configuration to me, but do add the session cache stuff.
