I think You are looking for a start of apache without question for a
passphrase. Just remove the passphrase from Your private key with the
command (when using SSLeay) "/path_to_ssleay/ssleay rsa -in
your_key_with_passphrase.pem -des3 -out your_key_without_passphrase.pem"
But remember: everybody with access to the apropriate paths can start a
server with ssl using this key now....
By the way: There is a ++very++ good manual by T.J. Hudson I think coming
with the distribution of SSLeay.
So long
