WampServer

My web site is running on below platform with SSL enabled and it is working fine.

My Platform
MS Windows2012 R2
WAMP Server 3.1.3 (64bits) with Apache 2.4.34 and Openssl 1.1.0h

Recently our manager request us to add the password protection on the existing 'Private Key'. I added the password and create a password file on the server. After retstart the Apache server and it started with error.

[Fri Apr 12 08:59:41.375463 2019] [ssl:emerg] [pid 3180:tid 452] AH02564: Failed to configure encrypted (?) private key uat.abcde.com:443:0, check C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.34/conf/key/server.protected.key


So I start to trace the problem;

1. I confirmed that the key password is correct by below command.

C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.34\bin>openssl rsa -noout -in c:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.34\conf\key\server.protected.key -passin pass:abcd1234


2. I confirmed that the key file could work by below command.

openssl rsa -noout -in c:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.34/conf/key2019/server.protected.key -passin "file:C:\wamp64\bin\apache\apache2.4.34\conf\password.srpv"

So I have no idea what is the root causes!

Below is the httpd.conf configuration related to SSL

# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf


And httpd-ssl.conf
SSLPassPhraseDialog "exec:C:/wamp64/bin/apache/apache2.4.34/conf/password.srpv"


Anyone can help???
