When generating the certificate (assuming you're using ssleay), it is
the 'your name' question (which is actually the Common Name field of the
cert). Make sure you put the exact server name as it will show in the
URL.
To preempt your next question... once you've sorted out this problem,
you'll start to see the message "storm.lightning.tne.net.au is a site
that uses encryption to protect transmitted information. However,
Netscape does not recognize the authority who signed its
certificate."... To fix this, you'll need to get a 'trusted' cert from
someone like Thawte (see the web page http://www.apache-ssl.org for
other issuers, and check with your browser manufacturer for a list of
'trusted' issuers).
cheers,
