mod_ssl/openssl error with test certificate?

modssl-users,

OK, I just built an apache + mod_ssl + mod_perl configuration. I
built the test certificate and installed it (make certificate && make
install). But when I 'apachectl startssl' I get the following
message:

[error] Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /opt/sisapache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt (OpenSSL library error follows)
[error] OpenSSL: error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509:expecting an asn1 sequence

I checked permissions and thought that might be the problem, however,
the problem persists even if I 'chmod 444
/opt/sisapache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt'. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Otto

Could you post a copy of the server.crt file?

Cheers,
Geoff

Re[2]: mod_ssl/openssl error with test certificate?

Geoff,

Opps! Checked out the file and it is a dummy ascii file :-(. I
replaced it with a 'real' file from the source tree and then it whined
about the private key. It too was a dummy ascii file. I replaced it
with a 'real' key file and voila... it all works! It never occurred
to me that 'make install' *does not* install the certificate files
files. Thanks to all who spent time on this!

Thanks,
Otto
