Hello.

I am having a problem with getting apache to work with SSL. Here is some detail:

OS: Windows 2000 Server
Web: Apache 1.3 (Oraclehttpserver)
CA: Windows 2003 CA
SSL_Tool: openssl

Ok, so I have done this before with public certs, eg Verisign, and it works fine. I have also used apache on Windows and gotten it to work at times, but this will not work. My CA is the one for my intranet domain. The 2000 Server that Apache is running on is a member of the intranet 2003 Domain so it automatically trusts the CA.

I went thru the openssl steps of creating the keyfile, and the cert request. I then used the certsrv web tool on my Windows CA to issue the cert. I have issued it in der format and the base64. I then moved it all to the apache server, made the conf file additions of where the keyfile and cert were stored.

When we try to startup apache, it will NOT start.

Any ideas of what I am missing or how to get this to work? when we simply rename the files so that the old public cert and keyfile is in place, it works fine again.

Any ideas?
