I've just downloaded, compiled and installed the latest versions of
apache1.3.6, openssl-0.9.3a, mod_ssl-2.3.5-1.3.6 using the instructions from
the mod_ssl INSTALL file on Slack 3.6 Distribution.
The installation and seems to go ok but the following problem occurs;
Whenever I access the server's default page using https, the
/apache/logs/error_log contains many entries like,
[Sat Jul 10 18:25:00 1999] [notice] child pid 14679 exit signal Segmentation
fault (11)
and the page only partly loads. A check of the server-status page shows some
huge numbers in the hundreds of millions listed in the bottom section for
SSL (sorry I don't have it to paste, the server crashed before I could copy
it).
After stoping the server, it then refuses to start, logs no messages, starts
no processes, nothing. ("apache/bin/apachectl sslstart" returns "httpd
started", but there are no proceses runing). From that point on, I could get
nothing to happen. In order to get my site back up, I rebuilt the default
apache distribution which started fine even using the httpd.conf from the
SSL version.
Looking through the mailing list archives, I notice that people have had
similar problems in the past and the suggested cure was always to use the
latest openSSL. Since I'm already using the latest, that isnt going to solve
my problem. Could it be that an old bug has crept back into the OpenSSL
distribution?
Any help is of course deeply apreciated.
Thank you,
Wangster
