If you didn't generate the CSR, you probably need to find the person that did and ask them where the private key is. Try reading http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/ssl/ssl_faq.html#aboutcerts if you haven't already. -- Phil. --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
