CodingForums.com - Enabling SSLEngine on Client Mac OS Leopard

Hi,

I am trying to enable SSL on my Mac running OS Leopard client (not server). I followed the direction on http://www.afp548.com/articles/web/sslcert.html as suggested by another thread but I fall short on where to place the files and how to enable the SSLEngine manual. I have gone in and made sure that the mod_ssl is not commented out in my httpd.conf file and that the include to the extra httpd-ssl.conf file is not commented out.

My httpd-ssl.conf looks like this:

Code:

Listen 443



<VirtualHost *:443>

#My doc root has been changed to my user sites folder.

DocumentRoot "/Users/MyName/Sites"

ServerName localhost:443

ServerAdmin my@email.com

ErrorLog "/private/var/log/apache2/error_log"

TransferLog "/private/var/log/apache2/access_log"



SSLEngine on



SSLCipherSuite ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP:+eNULL



SSLCertificateFile "/private/etc/ca/server.crt"

SSLCertificateKeyFile "/private/etc/ca/server.key"

SSLCACertificatePate "/private/etc/ca/"



<FilesMatch "\.(cgi|shtml|phtml|php)$">

SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

</FilesMatch>

<Directory "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables">

SSLOptions +StdEnvVars

</Directory>



BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*" \

nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0



CustomLog "/private/var/log/apache2/ssl_request_log" \

"%t %h %{SSL_PROTOCOL}x %{SSL_CIPHER}x \"%r\" %b"



</VirtualHost>

MY ssl files created from the site listed above are located in the /private/etc/ca folder.

Every time I turn the SSLEngine to on in the config file I get the error 'Safari can't open the page "http://localhost/" because Safari can't connect to the server "localhost". I get the same if I try "https://". If turn the SSLEngine off then everything works fine. In my error logs I get these messages.

Code:

[Time Date][error] Init:Unable to read pas phrase [Hint: key introduced or changed before restart?]

[Time Date][error] SSL Library Error: 218710120 error: 0D094068:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_ASN1_SET:bad tag

Can some please tell me what I am doing wrong here? Any help is appreciated thanks.
