This has been one long battle, made messy later on by my having to work backward from
0.6.6b to 0.9.6 in order to get a compile under UnixWare7.1.1
I have followed the advice Alex Pircher has kindly provided. Basically, that meant
following through the creation of the RSA provate key for the server and the creation
of the CSR with the server's private key as laid out in the mod_ssl faq pages, step by
step.
But when I get to needing sign.sh to sign the certificate I lose it. I cannot relate
what is in that script to anything I have done. Nor, it seems, can it.
The server.key and the server.csr are in the apache/conf directory.
Why did I go this way instead of 'make certificate' in the apache tree? Because it
complains about the 2 certificates having the same date. Perhaps there is a way around
that one somebody has been through before?
Otherwise, I am going to throw in the towel and simply use rewrite to get around hpps
calls. This is, after all, a development server, not the actual web server. But it is
annoying when I cannot get my application programs in and out of the secure portion of
the site.
Any pointers would be of great help. I guess I am living proof that applications
people make poor system mechanics.
And thanks, Alex ... way across the seas (and a continent) in Germany!
