Good day -- We have three Redhat 5.6 servers running Apache 2.2.3. After our last week software update (directly from Redhat), the three Apache servers became unaccessible from any browser.
A simple "service httpd restart" gives no errors, and we can see the daemon running. Put the list of processes just shows [httpd] <defunct>. It appears to be an SSL/NSS problem. A status check yields: "httpd (pid ...) is running ...". But the services manages indicates: "httpd dead but subsys locked". The messages log shows: SSL Library Error: -8038 SEC_ERROR_NOT_INITIALIZED NSS_Initialized failed. Certificate database:/etc/.httpd/alias The ssl error log says (both are warnings): RSA server certificate is a CA certificate (BasicConstraints: CA == TRUE !? RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) 'localhost.local.domain' does NOT match server name!? I've obvioulsy missed creating certificates somewhere. It's the first time I find errors after an Apache upgrade. I thought the upgrades were automatic. Nothing else (firewall, httpd.conf) has been changed from the time we had apache working w/o problems. Any clue as to how to proceed to fix this problem? I don't subscribe to the list, so answers by direct mail is preferred. Thank you, Martin
