Re: Just curious about Mod_SSL and Apache.

Fought this battle a few years ago....my solution: Don't use a passphrase when you do your make certificate. You may say that is "less secure", but I would conversly argue that putting your passphrase in the clear in a script file is also pretty in-secure. So, unless it is something that needs to meet some security audit, just don't use the passphrase. Otherwise you will probably need to be there to manually type that in every time you start it. -Brad > I know the topic is off the point but at least, I use PHP on this webserver. > As you know, when you shut down Apache and later on, start it up by this > command, "apachectl startssl".
