mod ssl freezes when booting up

Dear All,

If I restart my computer, the screen always freezes at 'starting up apache' 
and I have to remote log on and kill apache for the machine to boot.

Looking at the error log I get the messages:
[Tue Apr 20 13:58:06 2004] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Private key not found 
(OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Apr 20 13:58:06 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D094068:asn1 encoding 
routines:d2i_ASN1_SET:bad tag
[Tue Apr 20 13:58:06 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D0680A8:asn1 encoding 
routines:ASN1_CHECK_TLEN:wrong tag
[Tue Apr 20 13:58:06 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D07803A:asn1 encoding 
routines:ASN1_ITEM_EX_D2I:nested asn1 error
[Tue Apr 20 13:58:06 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09A00D:asn1 encoding 
routines:d2i_PrivateKey:ASN1 lib

However, what I don't understand is that I once logged in I can start apache 
up with no more errors, i.e.
apachectl configtest
apachectl start [Asks for password here]
there are no more errors in the logs either.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Colin
