Apache 2.x conf with SSL startup problem

2003-01-31 Thread Alex

Dear/Beste users,

I am a FreeBSD and Apache 2.x with SSL user. The webserver works when
started by hand (apachectl start-ssl), but it causes the machine to
hang during a boot. You still can logon to it from another machine.

I didn't get a certification from a CA but created one by hand. During
the creation i was asked for a password. Apache asks for this
password when it starts up. It doesn't print a request message on the
screen and I don't always have physical access to the machine so i
need to get the password to it some other way. I looked at the docs
from apache about apachectl but could not find a way to do that.



The machine runs FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p2 #0 compiled at Sun Dec 22
00:29:05 CET 2002 and is a i386.

Server version: Apache/2.0.44
Server built:   Jan 25 2003 14:12:28


From pstree:
  \-+- 7 root sh /etc/rc autoboot
\-+- 00180 root sh /etc/rc autoboot
  \-+- 00181 root /bin/sh /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh start
\-+- 00182 root /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/apachectl startssl
  \--- 00184 root /usr/local/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL

Apache2 startup script
 unix1# cat /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache2.sh
 #!/bin/sh
 PREFIX=/usr/local
 
 case $1 in
 start)
 [ ssl = ssl -a -f $PREFIX/etc/apache2/ssl.crt/server.crt ]  SSL=ssl
 [ -x ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl ]  ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl start${SSL}  
/dev/null  echo -n ' apache2'
 ;;
 stop)
 [ -r /var/run/httpd.pid ]  ${PREFIX}/sbin/apachectl stop  /dev/null  
echo -n ' apache2'
 ;;
 *)
 echo Usage: `basename $0` {start|stop} 2
 ;;
 esac
 
 exit 0

Hi!

 password when it starts up. It doesn't print a request message on
 the screen and I don't always have physical access to the machine so
 i need to get the password to it some other way.

Just create a private key without a passphrase, so you won't be 
prompted for one during server startup.
