Starting httpd: Apache/2.2.3 mod_ssl/2.2.3 (Pass Phrase Dialog) Some of your private key files are encrypted for security reasons.
In order to read them you have to provide the pass phrases.
Server tt.cs.sb.edu:443 (RSA) Enter pass phrase: Apache:mod_ssl:Error: Private key not found. **Stopped
Did you swap out both the server.key and server.crt files... and the references in the config?
I then put the original ssl.conf back (saved the ssl file with go daddy changes to ssl_gd.conf) but could not stop or start apache and this was the error I re-generated the self signed certificate keys and restarted the server.
/sbin/service httpd start is looking for ssl_gd.conf and NOT SSL.CONF; Don't know how this happened?
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 143 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl_gd.conf: SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/sslcertificate/gd.crt' does not exist or is empty [FAILED]
Can anyone give some pointers to solve this?
The default httpd.conf looks for and includes any file with a .conf extension from /etc/httpd/conf.d/ . If you want it to not load one of the two configs you're using, make it .bak or something other than .conf.
