[users@httpd] private.key with Pass Phrase

[Sadananda B Rai <sr...@zeomega.com>]

Hello All,
                I have got the new certificates signed by VeriSign. SSL
been configured with apache and it works well. But the problem I have is
with the private.key . It ask for a Pass Phrase. when restarting apache.
Only than it than it starts. How I can I avoid this at this stage as
autostart will hang the server on reboot. Is there a way to get rid of
this?. Any help will be great. 
 
Starting httpd: Apache/2.0.40 mod_ssl/2.0.40 (Pass Phrase Dialog)

                                                           [  OK  ]

According to the IRC bot:

<DrBacchus> remove passphrase
<fajita> remove passphrase is cp server.key server.key-with-passphrase ;
openssl rsa -in server.key-with-passphrase -out server.key ; chmod 400
server.key

Hope this helps.
