Hi,
Thanks to all on this list. I have been combing the archive for help to
get my apache-ssl operational and found the help I needed.
For those who might still be stuck you might find some help at
https://secure.halhinet.on.ca/ It is working at the moment. Comments and
critiques would also be welcome. (IE3 won't go there use Netscape)
Here's my problem.
My key file was created with a pass phrase as recommended by the people at
Thawte. However, when the server boots it does not stop to ask for the
pass phrase (I think because of Ben's workaround - Skip first time
initialisation) and I get an error
SSL disabled for server www.dudley.halhinet.on.ca:80
SSL disabled for server www.bishop.haliburton.on.ca:80
Enter PEM pass phrase:
Error reading private key file /usr/local/apache/conf/halhinet.on.ca.key:

read:pem_lib.c:387:
[Sat Jul 4 00:39:07 1998] gcache started
Currently the server is running on a self assigned key+cert.
Tonight I will be digging in the code to see if I can unfix Ben's fix but
is this what I have to do or is there a more reasonable workaround. More
reasonable because I know zip about C and I have digging through code all
day and got nowhere (slowly).
Thanks for your time,
John Henderson
