Dr. Henson,
  Thanks for your earlier help. Although the command you specified did
generate a key, Explorer failed from my NT station to open the secure page.
It would give the standard Page Cannot Be Displayed Message. Even more wierd
if I specified: https://192.168.0.2:443 it would correctly complain it was a
bad request. When I ran apache without SSL, everything worked fine.

I wiped the drive and reinstall Solaris 2.8, Jumbo patch, and the Random
patch. Then I tried reinstalling. This time I used Apache's make certificate
TYPE=custom command. I generate the server.key with the commands "cp
server.key server.key.orig; /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl rsa -in
server.key.orig -out server.key." This also resulted in the same above
behavior. I finally ran netscape from the box against the box and got the
pop up "The server's certificate has an invalid signature. You will not be
able to connect to this site securely." Then nothing.

What logs, symptoms, etc can I look into to try to diagnose and solve this
problem? I cannot find anything beyond these vague symptoms.

Any help is most appreciated!

Thanks!
Daniel
