This is your real problem. Check your Group setting in your apache 
configuration. You probably just need to get your permissions and 
ownerships correct.


Thanks very much for your response. Any idea what the Group setting needs to 
be in httpd.conf?

this is how it looks now

 User nobody

Yes. The only important thing is that the hostname used by clients to 
find your machine must match the Common Name in the certificate. So, if 
your other machines use https://intranet.localdomain/ to view web pages, 
the Common Name must be intranet.localdomain. The server itself doesn't 
even need to know it's being called intranet.localdomain (unless you're 
using name-based virtual hosts).

The name of the key doesn't matter, it's just used in path 
specifications (and of course, sometimes the OS gives the extension 
special meaning)>

It looks like an apache configuration problem.

This isn't robust. Strip the passphrase from your key, and make it 
readable by root only.

Not likely to matter.

Can't work if apache's not running. ;)
