Restart_apache asking for ssl password

Rails
1

I am trying to run cap_restart apache and it’s asking for the pass
phrase of my ssl certificate. The problem is it leaves me no way to
enter the pass phrase. Anyone else experience this or know any work
arounds?

[mysite.com] executing command

** [out :: mysite.com] httpd: Could not reliably determine the
server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.0.1 for ServerName
** [out :: mysite.com] [Mon Mar 17 20:49:39 2008] [warn]
NameVirtualHost *:80 has no VirtualHosts
** [out :: mysite.com] httpd not running, trying to start
** [out :: mysite.com] Apache/2.2.6 mod_ssl/2.2.6 (Pass Phrase
Dialog)
** [out :: mysite.com] Some of your private key files are encrypted
for security reasons.
** [out :: mysite.com] In order to read them you have to provide the
pass phrases.
** [out :: mysite.com] Server mysite.com:443 (RSA)
** [out :: mysite.com] Enter pass phrase:

is this a certificate file which you created yourself? If so, just
create
another one without a password.
You may also be able to just remove the password from the ssl
certificate.
Check out the man pages for openssl or use google for more info.
