guys, here is the web page for my network guy's cut and paste page. http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org/index.php/Deploying_a_FreeBSD_6.2_Server#Configuring_Mail_Services We need to generate SSL keys for the Apache server. BElow this is a wiki style box is the following trio of openssl commands. The second command gives me some error messages and dies. Can anybody figure out what I need to do to get openssl running? # openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 # openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr # openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /root/server.csr -signkey /root/server.key -out /root/server.crt Then the instructions: Copy the certs to the destination directory. Followed by more commands to cut and paste: # cp ~/server.key /usr/local/etc/apache22/ # cp ~/server.crt /usr/local/etc/apache22/ One other thing that is confusing is what openssl has to do with apache. Pointers to any tutorials or other documentation would be a huge help. thanks in advance, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix http://jottings.thought.org http://transfinite.thought.org The 7.31a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php
