Hello !

I am one of many mod-ssl beginners, and I have two questions.


1. The modssl web site refers to the SSL cryptography algorithm
   as being conventional, or symmetric. But mod-ssl uses public
   and private keys, which are known as parts of asymmetric
   cryptography. Any explanation ?

2. I copied a mod-ssl-enhanced apache-2.0.48 installation to
   another machine, replaced the certificate file ( server.crt )
   with another certificate ( but same file name ), and made
   some small changes in httpd.conf and ssl.conf. Of course,
   this did not work. Is there any way that I can generate a
   new private key ( server.key file ) according to the
   public key in the new certificate file ? Or should I remove
   everything and install again, the proper way ?


Regards

Anders
