[techtalk] SSL certificates

"Better" is relative. :)  I think it's pretty much six of one, 
half-dozen of the other.  I know _I_ use mod_ssl only because I was 
piecing a lot of things together and mod_ssl allowed me to do that 
easier than doing the whole ball of wax (apache-ssl).  But I have 
absolutely no basis for saying one would be better than another, so....

Well, I am now going to be of little help to you since I have zero 
experience with any of those particular things, so I hope someone else 
pipes up soon....

My magical configuration is:
Apache/1.3.14 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.7.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 PHP/4.0.4pl1
on SuSE, all built from source.

So, moving past that, let's look at your httpd.conf.

What do you have inside any <IfDefine SSL></IfDefine> blocks?
