Hi Tom,

the location of SSL certificates changed from C4 to C5, certificates are
located in /etc/pki/tls on C5. Apache is also a newer version on C5
(2.2 , 2.0 in C4). You should check your configs manually and change
them accordingly. I can help you if you post your C4 config.

	Regards,

	Michel van Deventer
