In using rpms, configuring ssl occurs after compiling, while compiling apache with --enable-module=ssl from source involves creating a test cert, which is basically what you want here. Hint: if you don't want to enter a passphrase every time you restart apache, then don't chose to encrypt the private key, unless you want to use expect to authenticate the server passphrase for you. > >Redhat Linux 7.2+ using either the stock RPMs or some from the RH errata >pages. apache-1.2.20-16 and mod_ssl-2.8.4-9.

That's all well and good, but you need to remember that you can run only one secure server per copy of apache. You can install more than one instance of apache with some pretty severe customization, etc. You need to compile these all from sources.
