[users@httpd] MOD_SSL not working

[Cohen, Laurence]

Hi,   I’m having trouble getting SSL to work on my apache 2.055 webserver, running on Solaris 8.  When I start the server up, everthing looks OK in the error_log.   start child 21965 rpc_server 21964 started by 21953 [Tue Aug 08 09:14:31 2006] [info] Init: Initializing OpenSSL library [Tue Aug 08 09:14:31 2006] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes of entropy [Tue Aug 08 09:14:31 2006] [info] Loading certificate & private key of SSL-awar e server [Tue Aug 08 09:14:31 2006] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys ( 512/1024 bits) [Tue Aug 08 09:14:32 2006] [info] Init: Generating temporary DH parameters (512 /1024 bits) [Tue Aug 08 09:14:32 2006] [info] Init: Initializing (virtual) servers for SSL [Tue Aug 08 09:14:32 2006] [info] Configuring server for SSL protocol [Tue Aug 08 09:14:32 2006] [info] Server: Apache/2.0.55, Interface: mod_ssl/2.0 .55, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.8b AceShutdown try to kill process 21964 signal 15 received start child 21980 [Tue Aug 08 09:14:33 2006] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authen tication ...
