Re: Re: Re: httpd configuration problem

Solution (mostly) found. The problem is with a misconfiguration of  
the Fecora Core 4
http configuration tool: the tool doesn't know about the split in  
configuration files
in core 4 (httpd.conf in /etc/httpd/conf, ssl.conf in /etc/httpd/ 
conf.d). ssl.conf already
contains a Listen on 443 directive, so the listen on 443 directive  
which the configuration
tool creates in httpd.conf is a duplicate, and causes a duplicate  
listener problem.

I'll report the bug on bugzilla (my solution is to comment out the  
listent directive in ssl.conf,
so I can still use the configuration tool). I'm still left with one  
relatively minor problem. Fedora has a nice
Makefile support for creating certificates, including self-signed  
certificates, which is what I
need. However there is no provision for creating a chain file, yet  
the configuration tool insists
on there being one (it crashes otherwise). I put in a ca-bundle, and  
it appears to work, but it's
clearly not the right solution. What should go there? Or is there an  
appropriate way to create
my own chain file? Or is the configuration tool just wrong in  
insisting on one?

     Thanks for any suggestions
