When using apachectl startssl, Starting =1 both times that startup.pl is compiled, and Restarting =0 on both, so those don't work as they should either I guess.
What does work is just writing out the value to a temp file on the first compile, and reading it on the second then deleting it. Kind of a hack but better than just having the password hard coded in the config file.
