[SOLVED] httpd will not start

[unix1adm]

I am trying to set up my httpd on CentOs 5.5 I did some searches and found this link...
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/Https

rpm -qa |grep -i httpd
httpd-2.2.3-43.el5.centos.3

I created the ssl files as they described but still it wont start.

ervice httpd start
Starting httpd: [Wed Sep 01 09:25:57 2010] [warn] NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
[FAILED]


cat ssl_error_log
[Wed Sep 01 09:25:57 2010] [error] Unable to configure RSA server private key
[Wed Sep 01 09:25:57 2010] [error] SSL Library Error: 185073780 error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch

Anyone have this issue?

I gooled it and some older releases said it was a bug but nothing for 5.5

I should mention I am trying to make a private key for my own www test site.

found these commands in a few searches

openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in localhost.key | openssl md5
90b92a7d4f71bd988e009f065abf1c24

openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in localhost.crt | openssl md5
90b92a7d4f71bd988e009f065abf1c24

looks the same to me.


I think I figured it out...

the directions say to edit the /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf file and add
SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/ca.key

SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/csers/ca.crt

I changed them to be localhost.key and localhost.crt.

It now works. Well it started Ill have to try the www page later when I can get on my home network.

Can I change the file to be servername.crt or servername.key.

I'll try that and see if it works.



answer: yes i can. I renamed the files to the servername and changed the path and it still works. Life is good.
