[olug] Apache will no longer run in Red Hat after a reboot

[T. J. Brumfield]

I'm also wondering if I can take his existing setup serving SSL over
mod_nss and just disable that. Should I be able to get SSL working with
mod_ssl alone?

I tried briefly disabling mod_nss and then apache will start for him, but
he has a redirect to HTTPS on his site (as he should) and SSL isn't working
without mod_nss currently.
