Apache failed to start when using SSL

[iltdevunit]

Hi,

 

I'm trying to get SSL working on UniServer Zero XI 11.3.2.

 

Here are the steps I've taken so far:

 

1. I've enabled the ssl_module
2. Copied my websites.crt, websites.key and websites.ca-bundle files to C:\UniServerZ\core\apache2\server_certs
3. Uncommented 'Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf' in C:\UniServerZ\core\apache2\conf\httpd.conf
4. Edited my httpd-ssl.conf to be:

#=========================================================
# File name: httpd-ssl.conf
# Created By: The Uniform Server Development Team
# Edited Last By: Mike Gleaves (ric) 
# Apache HTTP server configuration file.
# V 1.0 15-3-2013
#=========================================================


# This is the Apache server configuration file providing SSL support.
# It contains the configuration directives to instruct the server how to
# serve pages over an https connection. For detailed information about these 
# directives see <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_ssl.html>
# 
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Required modules: mod_log_config, mod_setenvif, mod_ssl,
#          socache_shmcb_module (for default value of SSLSessionCache)


#
# Pseudo Random Number Generator (PRNG):
# Configure one or more sources to seed the PRNG of the SSL library.
# The seed data should be of good random quality.
# WARNING! On some platforms /dev/random blocks if not enough entropy
# is available. This means you then cannot use the /dev/random device
# because it would lead to very long connection times (as long as
# it requires to make more entropy available). But usually those
# platforms additionally provide a /dev/urandom device which doesn't
# block. So, if available, use this one instead. Read the mod_ssl User
# Manual for more details.

#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/random  512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 512




#
# When we also provide SSL we have to listen to the 
# standard HTTP port (see above) and to the HTTPS port

##  the main server and all SSL-enabled virtual hosts.

#   Speed-optimized SSL Cipher configuration:
#   If speed is your main concern (on busy HTTPS servers e.g.),
#   you might want to force clients to specific, performance
#   optimized ciphers. In this case, prepend those ciphers
#   to the SSLCipherSuite list, and enable SSLHonorCipherOrder.
#   Caveat: by giving precedence to RC4-SHA and AES128-SHA
#   (as in the example below), most connections will no longer
#   have perfect forward secrecy - if the server's key is
#   compromised, captures of past or future traffic must be
#   considered compromised, too.

I've tried to start Apache, but UniServer Zero gives a 'Apache failed to start' dialog. I've looked in error.log and there's nothing to indicate a problem. error_ssl.log didn't exist, so I created it and tried to restart Apache again. After the error dialog, error_ssl.log remains empty.

Where am I going wrong?
