SSL error: ans1 encoding

[Anonymous]

I have been trying to enable SSL. I followed the instructions in the server admind guide and read through your article. To me, everything seems to be in the right spot, but each time I restart the server I get the following error:

[Fri Sep 26 16:58:56 2003] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Unable to read server certificate from file /private/etc/httpd/ssl.crt/server.crt102 (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Fri Sep 26 16:58:56 2003] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding routines:d2i_X509:expecting an asn1 sequence

What does this error mean?

Thank you for your response. Here is where I am at.

I had the certificate verified and I am told it is fine.

I was told to be sure to paste in the lines with

—–BEGIN CERTIFICATE REQUEST—–

and

—–END CERTIFICATE REQUEST—–

as well as all data in between. I checked the contents of server.key and server.crt and they seem correct.

Then I was wondering about the permissions causing an “unable to read error”. Do these permissions seem correct?

-rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 777 Sep 29 13:47 server.crt
-rwx—— 1 root wheel 777 Sep 29 13:49 server.crt102
-rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 1109 Sep 26 17:04 server.crt102.save

and

-rw-r–r– 1 root wheel 958 Sep 26 11:57 server.key
-rwx—— 1 root wheel 958 Sep 29 13:33 server.key102
