Hi, I can't reach my website, I get a "corrupted content" error message in the browser.
Looking into apache (version 2.4.7), I get
Code:
~$ apachectl -S
    AH00526: Syntax error on line 22 of /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default.conf:
    SSLCertificateKeyFile: file '/etc/ssl/private/owncloud.key' does not exist or is empty
    Action '-S' failed.

However, I double checked that the file is in the appropriate location and does contain the key, so maybe apache has no permission. afaik, it doesn't run as root all the time - or only for a short time?
permissions for the key file are as follows:
Code:
~$ sudo ls -l /etc/ssl/private/owncloud.key
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root ben 1704 Sep 28 04:01 /etc/ssl/private/owncloud.key

, where ben is my normal user.
It was suggested to me on the httpd IRC channel that maybe apparmor was doing something wrong, but I don't know how to investigate that.
To be clear, this is the first time I am setting up a server, I am all self-taught. Arrow Reading suggestions for a good start are appreciated, but of course a how-to or specific section of a manual would be more helpful than a generic exhortation to RTFM Neutral
Any hints?

Did you try to download the key again?

I use a self-signed certificate, so I generated the key on my own computer.

How did you encode your key? Can you please post the command line?

Like so:
Code:
openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/apache.key 2048

and
Code:
openssl req -new -x509 -key /etc/ssl/private/apache.key -nodes -days 365 -sha256 -out /etc/ssl/certs/apache.crt


I got that from here.
