Apache is reading the Servername from the certificate - you must have
mixed up your certificates. Do:

#  openssl x509 -in your-certificate.crt -noout -subject

and check the "CN=<your-server-name>/" field.

Don't worry about this - apachectl is a simple control script - it
simply issues a command to start apache and then, as long as nothing
actually blows up, reports "apached started". The ways to check are:

- run "top" in another window and look for a host of httpd processes
firing up
- tail the error log and look for:

[Mon Aug 13 09:43:14 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.20 (Unix) -- resuming
normal operations

That's the sure sign it started.

I have trouble understanding what's wrong.
