I forgot to write it in my original message, but you must get the
following message in your error_log in this case:
[Mon Oct 25 14:49:48 1999] [error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex lockfile
/your/path/logs/ssl_mutex.26336 (System error follows)
It happens with the default permissions in a default installation
(using Apache's "src/helpers/binbuild.sh" and "./install-bindist.sh"),
so it is common. Otherwise, if it was a local problem because of local
permissions, I would not write it.
