It seems strange to me that you are running Apache 1.3.7 but have refered to
what looks like to me to be apache 2.0 documentation.

If all you want is to have an apache 1.3.7 server start up after a reboot
without having to type in the password for the certificate try looking up the
docs for this directive:
SSLPassPhraseDialog

it is not available in apache-ssl but is it available in apache + mod_ssl .
Youu basically write a script or code snipet that spits out hte password
phrase to standard output and then you do not have to type in the pass phrase
when apache tries to load up your ssl certificate (that is password
protected).

Enjoy.
