Starting Apache with SSL

Hi,
Not sure if you mean apache-ssl or mod_ssl... The answer is the same in principle anyway.
The passprompt is because the key file is encrypted. The only way round it is to create an unencrypted copy and point the server at that. For example :
openssl rsa -in file1.key -out file2.key
Then change the config to use file2.key (unencrypted). Set the permissions as readable only by root and the userid that apache is run under.
Hope this helps
