Thank you....Austin,Andy and Ron. I thought the purpose of the list was to
get help....I'm sorry if my question seemed stupid. It was not my intention
to post a stupid question in which I had not exhausted other resources or
throughly looked at what I could find on this. I searched the FAQ's and the
entire previous threads on this list as well as throughly searched the
mod_ssl.org site and the apache web site. I found a few posts of other
people having this error but most of them couldn't start Apache at all no
matter what they did....they all had big problems like mod_ssl was never
even downloaded.
I did warn that I was a new user and I'm sure the answer has to be obvious
to something I'm missing.
--Heres what I found.
I did a httpd -DSSL -t
and it just said
Syntax OK
whereas the httpd -t gives the same previous error complaining about line
1158
--I also started a fresh error_log. I stopped apache and then started it up
again. I can't restart it....I have to completely stop it and this is all
my error_log has in it once Apache (re)Starts

--my ssl_engine_log normally just has the responses to the ssl requests
which look ok to me. Upon stopping and completly starting again this is
what is logged that is new. I see something about (still not detached)
which doesn't sound right, but otherwise looks ok.
