To some extent I actually agree with you - but our reasons are probably
different. First of all: setting up an SSL server is serious business,
and when done incorrectly it is at best something that gives you a false
sense of security, at its worst you end up with less security. This is
the main reason that I think some people might be better off getting
experienced people to run their servers instead of fumbling blindly.
The other reason is that some people does not spend even a minimal amount
of time trying to understand the error messages that they get or as in
this case does not try to understand it even when somebody has taken time
to make it even more obvious.
Enough luserbashing (I'm probably just taking out my bad mood and lack
of sleep on the nearest target)
I suggest that you try creating your certificates as described in
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.8/ssl_faq.html#cert-dummy you may wish to
change the command ``make certificate'' slightly such that it is:
make certificate TYPE=CUSTOM
