14 While I remain sceptical that it was etc-update that spannered my
15 configuration, stating the obvious to me overcame this... I've still no
16 idea what did cause this to go wrong - but... essentially, my config was
17 looking for /etc/ssl/apache2/server.crt, while the certificates I was
18 checking were /etc/apache2/ssl/server.crt - and similarly for the key.
19 I'm still a little baffled about how it appeared to work previously...
20 but I now see what is wrong - even if I'm puzzled about how I got here...

22 I guess, one might ask if default certificates are a good idea - and, if
23 they are - maybe we should ask why they don't "work". For my purposes,
24 however... solved! Thanks again.
