I have been trying to get this to work for a while now, I follow the instructions exactly, but I still can't get it to work, on either my gentoo computer or my debian computer using the R11B release, does anyone have any ideas?

[diginux@bohr ssltest]$ erl -boot start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl -sname ssl_test
{error_logger,{{2006,10,20},{21,58,24}},"Protocol: ~p: register/listen error: ~p~n",["inet_ssl",{'EXIT',{normal,{gen_server,call,[ssl_server_prim,{listen,<0.21.0>,{0,0,0,0},0,[],128},infinity]}}}]}

Thanks in advance for any help!

Have you installed ssl locally on your machine?

Yes I have. It is on Linux.

Code:
erl -boot start_ssl -proto_dist inet_ssl -sname ssl_test


I ran through the same problem when experimenting with SSL distribution. The example given in the documentation doesn't work (neither on Linux or Win32, with openSSL correctly installed on both). You have to specify the certificates you want to use on the command-line with "-ssl_dist_opt server_certfile name_of_file" and/or "-ssl_dist_opt client_certfile name_of_file".

The files have to contain both the public certificate and the private key. It looks like :

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Thanks alot! I will try this out when I get home, I am assuming this is the missing link I was looking for though.
