Jolly good.

Is it working ever? Are you running Windows? I get the impression you
try to start it and nothing happens. If so, could this be related to the
famous double-entry password feature? I have never experienced this
myself, but apparently if you have encrypted your certificate key,
apache prompts for a pass-phrase, you type it in - and apache does
nothing! Is this what is happening? If so, there are three fixes:
- type the pass-phrase in again (see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=apache-modssl&m=97320138232326&w=2 for a
discussion of this bug).
- don't encrypt the pass-phrase (see
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.6/ssl_faq.html#ToC31 for instructions).
- Make a script to deliver the pass-phrase (see
http://www.modssl.org/docs/2.6/ssl_reference.html#ToC2).
Personally, I don't see the point of the pass-phrase. Our server key is
readable only by root (on unix). If a hacker has root privileges on our
machine we've had it anyway...
