Hello list,

Almost there now...

After receiving help from Mick K and the list (thanks again!) I've now some 
idea of what I'm doing.

I've installed OwnCloud to be served over SSL. I've followed the instructions 
here[1] to create a self-signed certificate, which is in two files: cloud.crt 
and cloud.key. I put both of those under /etc/apache2/private. I ignored the 
vague references to intermediate files. The command I gave was:

# openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout cloud.key -out 
cloud.crt

Now when I start Apache I get this warning, twice:

RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !?)

Is this to be expected, or is anyone visiting (none expected though) likely to 
think I'm masquerading as a certification authority?
