Well, I’ve narrowed it down the the GetSSLPassphrase in the httpd.conf file. When I comment out that section, then manually start Apache, it asks me for a passphrase. I enter it, then Apache starts up.

I’ve read some solutions involving removing the passphrase from the server key. Any thoughts on that? Seems sketchy. Other solutions involve putting the password directly into the .conf file, but I haven’t had any success making it work.

Any other solutions to the getSSLPassphrase problem?


The GetSSLPassphrase app is trying to access the key file password stored in your keychain as keyed by the domain name.

As I stated in my response to your previous email, import your certificate using Server Admin under the Certificates panel.
After doing so, select that certificate from the popup menu within: Web:Sites:SSLSite:Security.



Removing the password encryption from the key file is an option, but you MUST ensure that that file is only readable by root.


openssl rsa -in domain.key -out domain.key.open
