Me again. Hope springs eternal that I'll be able to find someone who can respond to the odd issues I'm having. My previous problem of Apache not working correctly when accessed via SSL has morphed. Before, connecting to the SSL port would "sort of" work in that you'd get a page, but there would be delays and child processes would spawn for each request. /server-status would show all these processes in a "Waiting..." state with NO activity listed. I recompiled apache with one small change in that I changed the CPPFLAGS entry for the OpenSSL libraries from -I/opt/openssl098d/include to -I/opt/openssl098d/include/openssl.
So now apache starts up, you can click around (using SSL) just fine with no delays and everything looks good with no endlessly spawning child processes. Except that it doesn't write anything to access_log (or error_log other than the initial start up messages). If you switch to plain HTTP, it logs fine. Also, if you do an apachectl stop, each child process SegFaults instead of exiting cleanly... Thoughts? Suggestions? Aaron
