Apache2 SSL证书文件问题

Question

I am new to https ( HTTP using SSL). I have managed to generate a self signed certificate file and have added the following lines to the apache conf file:

SSLEngine on
SSLCertificateFile /path/to/cert/file/myfile.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /path/to/key/file/myfile.key
SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown

The issue I am having is that when I try to restart my server I get the following error and am confused why it is not able to read it:

Starting web server apache2
Syntax error on line 1 of /path/to/cert/file/myfile.crt:
Invalid command 'MIIDtTCCAx6gAwIBAgIJAOnu0fcwBt1BMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBQUAMIGZMQswCQYD', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
   ...fail!

Any ideas?

Answer 1

Maybe it tries to interpret the certificate file as a script. Is the crt file executable?

Answer 2

man this is outdated.. well i guess you should start from the beginning with a good howto. just google apache2 ssl howto.

propably apache has no ssl module loaded. on debian you could try apache2ctl -M to list all loaded modules.
