Not much of a noob, but I will try. I just configured httpd and installed mod_ssl and got my certificate from GoDaddy and put them on the server with ssl.conf pointing at them. I am getting this error: SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/pki/tls/certs/enmu.edu.crt' does not exist or is empty It's a cute error. I have checked several times for misspellings, looked at the enmu.edu.crt file (looks like a cert to me) and I can certify that it is not empty and it most certainly exists. Want some proof? Here... [root at itsnv607 ~]# ls -l /etc/pki/tls/certs total 1224 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 571450 Apr 7 2010 ca-bundle.crt -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 651083 Apr 7 2010 ca-bundle.trust.crt -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 1874 Jul 9 11:54 enmu.edu.crt -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 3197 Jul 9 11:54 gd_bundle.crt -rw-------. 1 root root 1164 Jul 8 14:33 localhost.crt -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 610 Feb 21 16:45 make-dummy-cert -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 2242 Feb 21 16:45 Makefile -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1131 Jul 9 11:52 www.enmu.edu.csr -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 1708 Jul 9 11:52 www.enmu.edu.key<http://www.enmu.edu.key> Just for fun, I started playing with permissions, just in case that mattered (it didn't). You can see that enmu.edu.crt is there, where it is supposed to be, and is not empty. What would cause this error besides what it actually says?
