texte = The cert generation has to be right or you could have problems. I also have to start my ssl sites after my server starts up. thankfully I only have to restart on apples security updates.Here is what I did for my servers:(when you see "domainA" it means your domain name without the quotes)
cddd if=/dev/randon of=rand.dat bs=1m count=1openssl genrsa -rand rand.dat -des 1024 > "domainA".pemcp "domainA".pem /etc/httpd/ssl.key/domainA.keyopenssl req -new -key "domainA".pem -out "domainA"csr.pem(send contents of domainAcsr.pem to ca when I get the crt file back I place it in the ssl.crt folder naming it domainA.csr. I set up an ssl server instance and point the certificate file data to domainA.csr and the key file data to domainB.key as created above and enter the passphrase I enter when creating the server key)(On my second server and IP address I set continue as follows)dd if=/dev/randon of=rand.dat bs=1m count=1openssl genrsa -rand rand.dat -des 1024 > "domainB".pemopenssl req -new -key "domainB".pem -out "domainB"csr.pem(send contents of domainBcsr.pem to ca when I get the crt file back I place it in the ssl.crt folder naming it domainB.csr. I set up an ssl server instance and point the certificate file data to domainB.csr and the key file data to domainB.key as created above in set B and enter the passphrase I enter when creating the second server key)Hard RestartAfter a hard restart I find I have to turn off the instances of the ssl servers, then start the service. Once the service is up I check the ssl services and choose "Don't Restart". They start up fine and I am happy. I would love to get around all this but since its a live server I haven't been able to play much.All done!On Mar 26, 2005, at 3:55 PM, Phil Herring wrote:> Hi Charles,>> I tried everything to make this work, then I finally asked the Thawte> support folks to email the cert to me, spec'd for W* and OSX.
