Thanks Tony,

But I did follow the instructions and https works just fine - when I use the
test certificate (signed by snake-oil) or if I make a self-signed
certificate. 

But if I use follow the instructions for a Thawte or Verisign signed
certificate httpd refuses to start.

It would seem all that I would need to do is to replace my self-signed cert
(which works) with the trail cert from Thawte, right? Or do I need a CA cert
from Thawte? I notice that there's a snakeoil-ca-rsa.crt Do I need something
from Thawte?
