SSL Setup Question

OK...I changed (manually) the directories for all of the SSL certs in the vhosts file to the originals sent to me from GoDaddy. Now, I don't get any errors in the certs...but I did have to enter a pass phrase to restart Apache.

Since this is the only site that will use SSL, I don't mind if I have to re-change the info on an ISPConfig update...so I don't care if I leave things the way they are now (with the location of the cert files in the VHosts file).

BUT, is there a way to un-encrypt the private key so that I don't have to enter the pass pharse each time I need a reboot?

Again, I can't thank everyone enough for the help on this!!!

 

hmm not sure then.. i know that worked for me.

 

yes you can decrypt the pass phrase
Remove the encryption from the RSA private key (while keeping a backup copy of the original file):

Code:

cp server.key server.key.org

Code:

openssl rsa -in server.key.org -out server.key

you might want to check the permissions afterwords and set accordingly.

 

that worked Dave! Thank you, and Till and Falko!

Consider this thread solved!
