I'm trying to get SSL to run on my
apache web server.
I do not have the DNS for the domain setup yet is that an issue?
How do I setup SSL on my web server?
When I start
apache it fails.
root@vannevar:/etc/apache2/ssl# service apache2 start
* Starting web server apache2 Action 'start' failed.
The
Apache error log may have more information.
The log stats that it's unable to read the certificate.
