Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The "SSLSessionCache" page has been changed by JoeWein. The comment on this change is: description and workaround for common problem with SSLSessionCache on 64-bit Windows. http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/SSLSessionCache?action=diff&rev1=8&rev2=9 -------------------------------------------------- </IfModule> }}} + === Problems on 64-bit Microsoft Windows === + The following error may be encountered in the error.log file on a 64-bit version of Windows with the 32-bit version of Apache: + + {{{ + Syntax error on line 62 of C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf: + SSLSessionCache: Invalid argument: size has to be >= 8192 bytes + }}} + + The offending line will be something like this: + {{{ + SSLSessionCache "shmcb:C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)" + }}} + + Due to a parser error the "(x86)" in the path is mistakenly found when looking for the bracketed cache size parameter at the end. A work-around is to create a link to the Apache folder somewhere else and then replace the Apache folder of the above path with the path of that link. For example, create a link to + C:/Program Files (x86)/Apache Software Foundation + + in your user folder as: + + c:\Users\myusername\Apache + + and then use that path in the config file: + + {{{ + SSLSessionCache "shmcb:c:/Users/myusername/Apache/Apache2.2/logs/ssl_scache(512000)" + }}} +
