Yes the key the is encrypted. When I start apache as root and log on, it 
asks me for a pass phrase. But when apache tries to start at boot-up it just 
hangs, no pass-phrase.

Yes is there, and yes it is readable. I presume that apache will start up as 
root. So that shouldn't be the problem.

Someone else suggested that that I make apache boot-up last. I changed 
S90apache to  S99apache. It didn't work.

Another suggestion was to try $PATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I don't think this 
is the problem as everything is Debian, and I haven't put anything in funny 
positions.

Are there any other suggestions?

Thanks for the help

Colin
