Debian Squeeze Upgrade Breaks Apache SSL
- by PP
I upgraded my Debian from Lenny to Squeeze. BIG MISTAKE.
Now I get:
[Tue Feb 08 16:34:57 2011] [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile] ((null):0)
littered throughout /var/log/apache2/error.log.
How to fix? Looking through a mess of forums it is easy to see that Apache changed the way it reads configurations around 2.2.13. Great. But not great for me or the millions of other web administrators who now have web servers that simply won't start, and an error message that says NOTHING about the problem or how to fix.
Anybody else actually solved this issue? I had perfectly working virtual servers with SSL before (for years actually).
