Please help. Date: Sat, 17 Feb 1996 18:45:49 +0200 Organization: infodirekt, Munich, Germany Lines: 30 Message-ID: <ts-1702961845490001@mac.infodirekt.de> NNTP-Posting-Host: mac.infodirekt.de Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.infosystems.www.servers.unix:10523 comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:13966 I've compiled apache-SSL 1.0.1 and SSLeay-0.4.5b on FreeBSD 2.1. Running the test produces this error from 'verify': error 9 at 1:certificate has expired Nevertheless, I have started the server. But Netscape refuses to connect and in the error_log I see this message: error:15019001 lib(21) func(25) reason(short read) OK, I suppose that has to do with a missing certificate. My questions: - Isn't it possible to run apache-SSL without a certificate? - I don't know much about all this administrative stuff behind SSL. From the docs I could not figure out how to help myself. Can anyone give me a pointer where to find an explanation what to do to get apache-SSL run? - Is a certificate from Verisign necessary to run it as a secure server?
