SSL and APACHE on RH 9

[Bytor2000]

Hello

I am having a problem with ssl on rh 9 system running apache 2.X.

The problem is when I enter the SSLEngine on in a virtual host directive apache will fail to start.

I have read that RH9 has some problems with ssl but can't find a fix or a thread that talks about this issue.

Right now I am leaning toward the RHP openssl is not right but help is greatly appreciated.

What kind of error messages are you getting? I had no problem with SSL in apache on RH9.

I am not getting any error messages. First I stop apache then when I start it just simply says failed.

I have tried apachectl start
and apachectl startssl.

From the command line I get nothing. From within webmin I get failed.

Either way apache is not running.

Did you check your error logs? I usually logs *something*

You don't have your server cert stored in the right place, it won't start up without it.
