I have SSL installed in Apache 2 running on Windows 2003. but whenever I hit a url, it shows a following error.

RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `frodo' does NOT match server name!?

does anybody know why?

And also, I see a lot of these messages,
Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.

I hope that those messages are not serious.

Please help me.

caesarkim,

When a certificate is generated, you have to specify a "common name", which is essentially the URL. This should match the ServerName as specified in the Apache config for that VirtualHost. Usually the CommonName/ServerName will be "www.example.com" or "secure.example.com", or something similar. Since "frodo" is not a valid domain name, unless this is being used for internal traffic only, you have to generate a new certificate with the correct CommonName.
