I am using apache v 1.3.34-4.1 and openssl on Debian and I have set up SSL, Although I can restart apache using the init script without issue I get prompted for a pass phrase if I stop and start apache. This is a problem if I have a power loss as apache will wait in the background until it receives a pass phrase. Is there a way around this without regenerating the server.key?
AFAIK there is no way around this. If you do not want Apache to wait for a pass phrase, you have to strip the private key of encryption. This of course has multiple security problems, but I'm afraid those are your only options that I am aware of.
