I've been looking for about a hour, and I cant quite figure out from all the threads what steps i need to do to fix this.

Basically, the new server that I'm moving to was setup by my provider... from what I can gather, they must have not specified something during the setup of DA, as if I try running the following:

Code:
openssl x509 -in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt -noout -subject

I just get the following [presumably the default]:

subject= /C=--/ST=SomeState/L=SomeCity/O=SomeOrganization/OU=SomeOrganizationalUnit/CN=localhost.localdomain/[email protected]

Is there some simple steps to re-generate this certificate that DA makes during its install?

I'm just trying to make apache not give me these error messages really.

Some of the websites will be needing SSL cert's in a few weeks most likely, being they are e-commerce sites, so I'm just trying to get this new server up to scratch.

I'd rather not pester the provider unless its really needed, so just wondering if anyone can shed light on getting it working really for now.

Didn't seem to get this problem on my old server so I'm guessing its just because of what they did when they setup DA. Everything else seems to be working well, so just want to get this sorted and crack on with transfering my sites from the old server to the new server.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be very welcome.

Cheers
Nath.
