You can get this type of error if you have SELinux enabled - check /var/log/message to see if there is an "avc" denial message for this file. You'll need to label the certificates correctly if you want to keep SELinux enabled, e.g. # chcon user_u:object_r:httpd_config_t /home/vh/sslsite1/server.crt See: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/ http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-apache-fc3/ for more details about SELinux and Apache. joe ______________________________________________________________________ Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) www.modssl.org User Support Mailing List modssl-users@modssl.org Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
