Again !! - Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key
Hello, I have installed Apache 1.3.12 + Mod-SSL 2.6.2-1.3.12 + OpenSSL 0.9.5 under Solaris 2.7. Whenever I am trying to start the web server with "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start" the normal HTTP server runs fine. But whenever I am starting the HTTPS server with "/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl" it is giving the following message. /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started and in the ssl log file it is giving [13/Mar/2000 17:24:56 06351] [error] Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Server: Apache/1.3.12, Interface: mod_ssl/2.6.0, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.5 [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Init: 1st startup round (still not detached) [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Init: Initializing OpenSSL library [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Init: Loading certificate private key of SSL-aware server www.basheer.com:443 [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 8 bytes of entropy [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits) [13/Mar/2000 17:42:23 06355] [error] Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key I kept the $HOME/.rnd file by "touch $HOME/.rnd" and tried to give make certificate again. But the result is same. Instead of just creating the ".rnd" file I copied the files like ..openssl-0.9.5/ms/.rnd ..openssl-0.9.5/test/.rnd to $HOME. But still the effect is same. What's wrong? Could anybody help me? Regards, Saleej. __ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo!
