Hi all -
This seems to be a commonly reported problem with mod_ssl, but for all
the archives and FAQs I've read, I am no further forward. Here is the
situation:
Apache 1.3.26, openSSL 0.9.6g, mod_ssl 2.8.10-1.3.26, Compaq Tru64 UNIX
4.0F.
On starting Apache, it immediately exits and logs the following in the
error log file:
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate
temporary 512 bit RSA private key (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa
routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib
The FAQ refers to the SSLRandomSeed directive; this is set in the
httpd.conf file as
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
(Being Tru64 I don't have the option of using /dev/random)
It also refers to problems at the "make certificate" stage; that seems
to have gone through without any problems.
I've also read that there are problems with PHP, so I have removed all
reference in the httpd.conf file to the dynamic PHP module, and for good
measure the dynamic Apache Jserv module, so these are not loading. Still
no diference.
Can anyone offer me some more pointers?
Thanks
Richard
