This installation is part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with OpenSSL. This problem started after attempting to register a new user for the first time in the ebxml registry repository (ebxmlrr-3.0-beta1).
Before this, I did not have a server.key in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key/ other than what is installed with the apache server, nor a certificate in /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/ before creating one as a test just before writing this message.
A user key was created as part of registering a new user within the freebxmlrr-3.0-beta1 and imported into the Firefox browser I was using.
This occurred just before the server began failing to start.Registering a new user in the Registry involves installing a credentials for the user and that process appeared to proceed normally until I did a cold restart to ensure that all settings were saved correctly--or so I thought. (I have sent a message about this to the ebxmlrr-tech list, too, and I am copying that list with this message.)
I have since produced a self-signed certificate following the instructions in the RedHat System Administrator Guide Chapter 26.6-26.8 but, of course, I can't test it because httpd still doesn't start.
Here is the terminal output when attempting toe start httpd: [root@c-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx ~]# service httpd startStarting httpd: [Mon May 08 06:20:21 2006] [warn] The Alias directive in /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf at line 557 will probably never match because it overlaps an earlier AliasMatch.
Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/xxx/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28] does not exist
[FAILED]
[root@c-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx ~]#
Here is the httpd error_log for that sequence:
[Mon May 08 06:20:21 2006] [notice] core dump file size limit raised
to 4294967295 bytes
[Mon May 08 06:20:22 2006] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled
(wrapper: /usr/sbin/suexec)
[Mon May 08 06:20:22 2006] [error] Server should be SSL-aware but has
no certificate configured [Hint: SSLCertificateFile]
Notes:The registry runs on tomcat. I changed jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28 to port 6480 (using a 64xx sequence which will eventually ease the change over to the Sun Service Registry which uses that sequence). This went without a hitch.
The registry is intended to work with the Mambo installation with MySQL-PHP running on localhost:8080. Until the failure, this worked as intended.
ebxmlrr-3.0-beta1 uses JSF and JSP but I haven't had a burp (AKAIK) with that system operating with the Mambo-MySQL-PHP system.
I was using the embedded Derby Database with the ebxmlrr installation. I expect to change the database to Oracle 10gR2 for the sake of using the RDF Network Data Model with the Registry as an added service.
BTW: I really don't understand the terminal output line which refers to the tomcat server.xml file:
Warning: DocumentRoot [/home/xxx/jakarta-tomcat-5.0.28] does not existIt certainly does exist as do the DocumentRoot s for the the other virtrual hosts on this system (using the RedHat HTTP Configuration Tool) and was/is working fine, as does the environment variable for CATALINA_HOME.
Also, the Alias directive warning was there previously and did not appear to affect the startup of httpd.
Thanks for any helpful ideas you might have.
