Cannot start httpd service with SSL

centos6certificatecertificate-authorityssl-certificate

Have an issue where I have installed new certificates on Centos 5 and modified the conf file for the following lines:

SSLCertificateFile /etc/pki/tls.certs/name.crt

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/pki/tls/private/name.key

SSLCACertificateFile /etc/pki/tls/certs/group.ca-bundle

But everytime i start the httpd service i get the following:

>     sudo service httpd start
>     Starting httpd: Apache/2.2.15 mod_ssl/2.2.15 (Pass Phrase Dialog)
>     Some of your private key files are encrpyted for security reasons.
>     In order to read them you have to provide the pass phrases.
>     Server servername.co.uk: 443 (RSA)
>     Enter pass phrase:
>     OK: Pass Phrase Dialog successful.                     [FAILED]

(Only have basic knowledge with CentOS, so please excuse me for my stupidity in advance!)

So question is what is failing? And where can i find the relevant logs to tell me this?

Run the httpd binary manually with the debug-loglevel to see if you can get any more information from it.

httpd -e debug
