William
Thanks a million.
I re applied for my cert and created a new key. I must have messed somethhing up as it now works. I think that your server name should match your web cert name


Again thankyou very much as when i did what I was supposed to all worked as expected

Hi all again
Has anything been made easier for use with ca certs. As i cant find the above how to on the wiki and my cert has expired.
I have replaced all the files the key, the csr and the cert with then new ones and then the web server doesnt start. If i rename them back all is well again.
Any ideas?

I have been following the guide here

http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/nickcritten/howtos/ssl6.htm
and all seems fine apart from i think there is a typo in the part where you create the csr file.
If i do

Code: [Select]

openssl req -new -nodes -keyout myserver.key -out server.csrWhen i get the .crt file back from my ca and place it in the folder and restart my web server wont start.

Just to let you know i was using the wrong key. It appears that everytime that command is run a new key is generated. Use the key from the csr not an old one

You live and learn lol
