In fact, I am typically loathe to do much to alter base setup and so if I wanted to use alternate files for server.crt and server.key, I would simply change (redhat setup) # grep crt /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf AddType application/x-x509-ca-cert .crt SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt #SSLCertificateFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server-dsa.crt #SSLCertificateChainFile /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ca.crt #SSLCACertificatePath /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt #SSLCACertificateFile /usr/share/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt the one crt entry above (perhaps the CA Cert path/file if I am generating my own certs and acting as my own CA) and not muck with anything like virtualhosts in regular httpd.conf file at all - but that's because when I do, I am tripping over my own two feet.
