Hello Ben, Saturday, January 05, 2002, 2:27:04 PM, you textually orated:
BO> Assuming this is the problem, how can I remove the cert, BO> clean out any residue and begin again? I am not going to follow that tract. You should be able to start it. You should not need a certificate to start, just to use it. But that may be your problem, but without logs or error messages... >>Otherwise I don't know, there may be an apache and/or mod_ssl list you >>could check for further help. BO> There is a mod_ssl list but no one responded to my request for help. It may BO> not be a very popular list. As far as apache, mod_ssl isn't part of the BO> distro, so (IMHO) this is as good a list to ask. I'll buy it as a fine list to do it on (provided you get helped ;) since RH has been providing it since the RSA patent was over. >>I built openssl, apache & modssl as per the instructions in the latter. Coulda used RPMs. ;) >>When I type in the command ./apachectl startssl all comes up fine so I'll assume that "startssl" is a valid option since you say it is trying to start, but I have never seen that syntax. It has always been "start" for me. >>What have I done wrong? What are the exact error messages you are getting? What do your logs show? (error or otherwise) Does it start or is it just not allowing any secure connections because of a lack of a key? Normally it should start but refuse connections. Is the module loading? Is the module in the right place? Remember that by building it from source some things may be in different places then RH expected. There may be path issues or the modules my be somewhere that is other then the place where the scripts are looking. When it is running, do you have PHP or mod_info or something that that can tell you what modules loaded? This can help you find out if the module is loading properly. If you have "IfDefine" statements to activate mod_ssl, are you sure it is properly passing the "-D HAVE_SSL" statement on start-up? It sounds to me like you are not loading the module or you are loading it in the wrong order (it usually needs to be near the end, though that may be old info since I know the Apache group has been trying to make module loading less dependant on order). I would make sure it loads then worry about the keys and such. It should start without a key. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
