Michelle,

Hi. As a curiosity, have you tried to ask the Apache/Httpd mailing list? I
was wondering if they might be able to shed light on this issue.. I'm also
assuming the usual google searches turned up nothing helpful...

I am using a different script in init.d then what was supplied so
that apache will start automatically with ssl enabled.  I fixed the
script I am using so that chkconfig now works.  I turned httpd off
and on with chkconfig.  I'm still having the same issue.  Upon boot
httpd is running, but I get a bad gateway message.  Once I stop and
start the httpd script in init.d, everything works o.k.  If there is
a problem with the script I am using in init.d, wouldn't I also have
problems when trying to run it manually?  I'm not sure what else
could be causing this behavior.  I have saved the original init.d/
httpd script.  Is there an easier way to make sure apache starts up
with ssl enabled?

No passphrase is required.
