Author problem of launching Apache web server

I downloaded and installed Apache 1.3 HTTP server on linux machine. It
went through well until I tried to fire up my Apache HTTP server. Then
I
ran into some problem illustrated as below:

~/apache/bin> apachectl start
Syntax error on line 129 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
SSLCertificateFile: file '/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt' does not
exist or is empty

I can't do anything on the file of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf since I
don't have root's permission.

Any help please? Thanks!

Can you modify the httpd.conf? Remove line 129 if you don't need
secure http. (And any other references to https or secure).

Well, the line 129 code in question resides in ssl.conf, rather than
httpd.conf. And I can't modify ssl.conf since it is under /etc rather
than my personal directory and I don't have root permission to modify
ssl.conf. What can I do?

Thanks a lot!

You should have in your httpd.conf:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
Include conf/ssl.conf
</IfModule>

Rem (#) that out. There may be another instance of ssl.conf - grep the
httpd.conf for that string.
