[squid-users] HTTPS Acceleration

On linux server (RedHat 9.0) I have installed Squid V3.0 and Openssl
V0.9.7c.
for using this as HTTPS accelerator for our exchange server.

So far I have done follwoing:

1. Generated a RSA key with followinf command:
    openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 2048

2. Created a self-signed certificate-
    openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -key privkey.pem -out cacert.pem -days 100

3. The squid.conf has follwoing line -
    https_port 443 cert=/usr/local/ssl/cacert.pem

Now when I start squid I get follwoing error:

[root@Jupiter1 etc]# ../sbin/squid start
2004/03/02 14:52:23| Failed to acquire SSL private key
'/usr/local/ssl/cacert.pe
m': error:0906D06C:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:no start line
FATAL: Bungled squid.conf line 98: https_port 443
cert=/usr/local/ssl/cacert.pe
m

4. if I do "https_port 443 cert=/usr/local/ssl/privkey.pem", I get
following error:

[root@Jupiter1 etc]# ../sbin/squid start
