Please note that : 1. nginx server starts correctly in command line (#nginx ), not using service. SSL configuration (like file locations and permissions seems therefore correct). Password is -that way- asked on terminal. 2. when doing the same SSL configuration with Apache2, the password is well required when starting/restarting Apache2 server with ""service apache2 start"". How could I fix it please ? Is there a way to compare nginx and apache2 service files to understand why no password is asked when starting nginx, but actually is when starting apache2 ?
