Hello, 

I am new to the list and have not recieved a reply back from the list
server yet after 2 requests to be added so please cc any replies.

I am having a heck of a time getting a trial cert from Verisign
installed. I am using apache_1.2.6+ssl_1.15 on a FreeBSD 2.2.5-Stable
box. I started by generating a private key with a protected passphrase:

ssleay genrsa -rand rand.dat -des 1024 > key.pem

then generated a CSR for Verisign:

ssleay req -new -key key.pem -out csr.pem

My trial cert was saved to vtrial.key

My relevant httpd.conf info:

SSLCACertificatePath /usr/local/certs
SSLCACertificateFile /usr/local/certs/key.pem
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/certs/vtrial.key

# If the key is not combined with the certificate, use this directive to
# point at the key file. If this starts with a '/' it specifies an
absolute
# path, otherwise it is relative to the default certificate area. That
is, it
# means "<default>/private/<keyfile>".
#SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/certs/vtrial.key

When starting the server I get this error:

Error reading private key file /usr/local/certs/vtrial.key:
11369:error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start
line:pem_lib.c:623

I am not sure what the problem is.

Thanks in advance.
