After upgrading from OpenSSL 0.9.4 to 0.9.5, I get this error when trying to
start apache:
[error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key
I can't find any information about this error.
Here's some info about my webserver:
[notice] Apache/1.3.12 (Unix) PHP/3.0.15 mod_ssl/2.6.0 OpenSSL/0.9.4
BSD/OS xenon 4.0.1 BSDI BSD/OS 4.0.1 Kernel #2: Tue Feb 22 22:50:55 PST 2000
pavalos@xenon:/usr/src/sys/compile/XENON i386
How I upgraded to OpenSSL 0.9.5:
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> ./config
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> make
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> make test
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> make install
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> cp /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl /usr/bin
xenon:/usr/src/openssl-0.9.5#> cd ../mod_ssl-2.6.0-1.3.12
xenon:/usr/src/mod_ssl-2.6.0-1.3.12#>
./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.12

xenon:/usr/src/apache_1.3.12#> SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.5
./configure --enable-module=ssl --prefix=/var/apache --activate-module=src/m
odules/php3/libphp3.a --enable-module=mime_magic --enable-module=speling
xenon:/usr/src/apache_1.3.12#> make
xenon:/usr/src/apache_1.3.12#> make install
After all of that (I had no errors), I stopped the current httpd, and
started a new one with -DSSL. Apache failed to load, and this line was in my
error_log:
[error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key
If anyone has any insight, I'd be grateful.
