Hi, I sent this ou the other day to the mod-ssl list, but I have not heard anything So I am going to post it here. I think this is the right list, but if it is not, could someone please direct me in the right direction. Thanks My problem: I am running Apache with mod_ssl in conjunction with modules Mod rewrite and mod proxy . From time to time I need to change the rewrite rules on this server, so I have a script on a remote box to ssh over to this server and upload the new rewrite rules. Unfortunately Apache can not be restarted gracefully in this case, it needs a full shutdown and startup to load the rules(at least from what I have seen). So what I have attempted to do was write an Expect script to do the ssh over and shutdown the server, reload the rules and then attempt to start the server up again. The problem comes when I try to restart the server and enter the PEM pass phrase. I can send the password with expect ,but the server does not restart at all. Instead I get an error in the logs/ssl-engine file: [17/Jul/1999 16:44:42] [info] Init: Requesting pass phrase via builtin terminal dialog [17/Jul/1999 16:44:42] [error] Init: Private key not found. (OpenSSL library err or follows) [17/Jul/1999 16:44:42] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09B08F:asn1 encoding routines:d2 i_PrivateKey:unknown public key type I thought that maybe expect was mangling the password, so what I did was to edit the script and go into interactive mode at the point of where I would hit a carriage return to enter the pass phrase. (in other words, I passed the password without a carriage return via expect and went interactive to enter the \r) and this works fine. Can anyone give me any clues as to what I am doing wrong or a work around of some type, or where else I could look for an answer? Thanks for you time Scott [EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
