You have to compile, and configure apache to use the SSL certificates. Take a look on the mod_ssl site (http://www.modssl.org) for details on how to compile apache with mod_ssl, and some very basic examples. You might want to take a look at: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Apache-Compile-HOWTO/ For a basic idea on doing things like that too. Once you've got apache compiled with SSL, you have to turn it on in the configuration file (SSLEngine On I think, or something like that). >> You mention no specs of your system, but on Linux, you would >> install apache-ssl (which would give you a generic SSL cert, BTW), > I'm using redhat 8, which has Apache 2, and openssl.

As I said above, you'll now need to compile apache to use SSL before your certificates are of any use to you. > Sorry for the ignorance, I'm very new to ssl, and it's seeming a bit > overwhelming. It is when you first get started, but once all up and running it does get better ;) -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Are you worried about your web server security?
