openssl req -new -x509 -extensions v3_ca -keyout \ private/cakey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 365 -config ./openssl.cnf
I then installed mod_ssl from yum which perviously, after the first two steps, would allow me to use https encryption. For some reason I now get an error when I try to access my web server via https. The error is:
"You have received an invalid certificate. Please contact the server
administrator or email correspondent and give them the following information:
Your certificate contains the same serial number as another certificate
issued by the certificate authority. Please get a new certificate containing
a unique serial number."
I'm fairly tired so I think I'm missing something really basic. All I'm doing is using a self-signed key. The browser (safari, firefox) should use this certificate but warn the user that it's self-signed.
Where am I going wrong?
