Hi,
i did that and i still get the same error...
When i try
openssl x509 -noout  -in server.crt
i still get this error. Could this be something wrong with my CA ?
Please not that this is my third certificate with errors.
Is there any way to debug my certificate and see whats going on?

Thanx in advance
Kind Regards
Pantelis Roditis

I ran into this it was the
format of the certificate request
and key file that was wrong.

Here is the correct way# Generate the server.key

/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl genrsa -rand /usr/local/ssl/.rnd -des3 -out
server.key 1024

# Generate certificate request to send to CA server

/usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr

HTH
later
John

Hi,
i just installed my certificate but i am unable to start apache (1.3.22).
The error is this

[Tue Feb 12 16:15:28 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:0D09F007:asn1 encoding
routines:d2i_X509:expecting an asn1 sequence

After a small search on the web i found out that this error is very common
but i wasn't able to find an answer on it.

Can someone please give me a hint?

Thanx in advance
Kind Regards
Pantelis Roditis
