I've got a 9.0RC2 box, as well as a couple other boxes (8.2, and a 7.1 updated) that, suddenly this morning, generated an error email, and apache stopped. Here's some example emails:

The only thing I found in the pache error logs was this in the ssl-error_log: [Tue Oct 1 04:02:43 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: (test.nlenet.net:443) Ops, no R SA or DSA server certificate found?! [Tue Oct 1 04:02:43 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: (test.nlenet.net:443) You have to perform a *full* server restart when you added or removed a certificate and/o r key file I was able to restart the server with no problems using apachectl stop, then apachectl start. What gives? I don't have a registered ssl cert for this machine, but one was generated upon installation and running of apache. This particular machine doesn't need it, so I've commented out the ssl stuff now, but is this ssl thing what took the webserver down during the cron job? Another machine that went down this morning had this in the error_log of apache: [Tue Oct 1 05:12:29 2002] [notice] Apache-AdvancedExtranetServer/1.3.22 (Linux- Mandrake/1.4mdk) mod_mp3/0.35 mod_ssl/2.8.5 OpenSSL/0.9.5a PHP/4.0.6 configured -- resuming normal operations [Tue Oct 1 05:12:29 2002] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin /suexec) [Tue Oct 1 05:12:29 2002] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) [Tue Oct 1 05:12:29 2002] [warn] long lost child came home!
