dhimok Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Hello everyone. I have a question. I am trying to work with ssl on my local server, and i have installed openSSL for win32. I run the openssl command line tool to register a certificate (openSSL > req -config openssl.cnf -new -out myCert.csr) and it generates a 1024 rsa private key, privkey.pem and then the command line promts me to enter a PEM pass phrase: and then i can't continue anymore my keyboard locks. Am I missing something here? Any ideas? Do i need to do something with configure file openssl.cnf? I have no idea Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stray_Bullet Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Hehe I been through the same thing... When you think your keyboard locks up, it doesn't! Just enter your PEM pass phrase, then hit enter. It will ask you to re-enter your PEM pass phrase, then press enter again... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dhimok Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey man, can u give me some help to configure the httpd.conf file with mod_ssl? So far i have created localCert.cert and localCert.key and I placed them in conf/ folder where httpd.conf is located under ssl folder like this: conf/ssl/localCert.cert conf/ssl/localCert.key I put this at the end of conf file: <IfDefine HAVE_SSL> <VirtualHost localhost:443> DocumentRoot /public_html ServerName localhost ServerAlias localhost SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile conf/ssl/localCert.cert SSLCertificateKeyFile conf/ssl/localCert.key SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown </VirtualHost> </IfDefine> and I loaded: LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so When i start apache 2.2 I get: The requested operation has failed! That's all. do u have any advices? Anything else I need to fix before I test? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
