Installing mod_ssl

    I have been following this tutorial:

    http://tud.at/programm/apache-ssl-win32-howto.php3

    But when I come to start the apache server with mod_ssl running I get the following error. "The eequested operation has failed." Followed with a windows message saying Apache HTTP Server has stopped working. This is what gets output in my error log.

    Anyone have any ideas of what the problem might be? Thanks for any help.

    That log doesn't help at all. You should try starting apache from the command prompt. "apache -k start" from the directory that contains apache.exe. It will tell you what's actually wrong rather than a generic error that means nothing. The apache monitor tool is garbage.

    Also, that tutorial is pretty terrible
