certificate renewal

Got an email The certificate for localhost.oT5171 will expire in 27 days

Ran the latter prg as per email's recommendation
The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done using the '/usr/bin/openssl' or the '/usr/lib/ssl/apache-mod_ssl/gentestcrt.sh' programs supplied with Mandrakelinux.
Hope it worked, tho probably something more than just running that script is required.... like maybe copying and pasting the generated cert and so on.

Edit: Probably the last few lines of the tutorial here: http://www.unix-tutorials.com/go.php?id=472

Edit:
Was quite simple - the mail said that the file /etc/ssl/apache/server.crt was causing the error.

Ran '/usr/lib/ssl/apache-mod_ssl/gentestcrt.sh'

This generated server.crt and server.key in pwd

mv server.crt /etc/ssl/apache/server.crt
mv server.key /etc/ssl/apache/server.key

service httpd restart
