Unless you need ssl support for your webserver just comment out that line in your httpd.conf.

If you need ssl and have your certificate then you need to place it in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt or change your config file to point to where you already have it.

relax a bit. No one said you typed in a command to start SSL. It is int he httpd.conf that is calling ssl.conf. You can do two things. Change the line in httpd.conf that says

Code:

## Load config files from the config directory "/etc/httpd/conf.d".#Include conf.d/*.conf

It is currently set to load all .conf files in the conf.d directory. Change it so it does not call all of them or just move ssl.conf from /etc/httpd/conf.d/ to another directory.

You can also save some typing when starting and stopping the server. Instead of

Code:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start

use

Code:

apachectl start

to start

Code:

apachectl stop

to stop

Code:

apachectl restart

to restart
...etc type man apachectl for more uses

lol. It is a standard apache command. It works on all Linux OS's. btw. I did this on RH. 9.

type the following command into your terminal.

mv /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf /root

Then start apache.
