Hi, I've got stability problems with apache 2.0.59 on HPUX compiled from source. On startup, I see a series of connections despite the fact that no requests were made to the server. These "connections" loop from 1 to the number of start servers I've configured. Here's an example from the error_log: [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [info] Connection to child 49 established (server www.myserver.com:443, client 127.0.0.1) [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [info] Seeding PRNG with 0 bytes of entropy [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1769): OpenSSL: Handshake: start [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1777): OpenSSL: Loop: before/accept initialization [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_io.c(1523): OpenSSL: I/O error, 11 bytes expected to read on BIO#4046ec78 [m em: 40497438] [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1806): OpenSSL: Exit: error in SSLv2/v3 read client hello A [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [info] (70014)End of file found: SSL handshake interrupted by system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] [Mon Jul 09 14:38:15 2007] [info] Connection to child 49 closed with abortive shutdown(server www.myserver.com:443, client 127.0.0.1) After startup, I hit the server with siege (stress tester). I'm not making ANY https requests but those messages start to reappear: [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [info] Connection to child 74 established (server www.myserver.com:443, client 127.0.0.1) [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [info] Seeding PRNG with 0 bytes of entropy [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1769): OpenSSL: Handshake: start [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1777): OpenSSL: Loop: before/accept initialization [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_io.c(1523): OpenSSL: I/O error, 11 bytes expected to read on BIO#4046ecb0 [mem: 404b44e8] [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [debug] ssl_engine_kernel.c(1806): OpenSSL: Exit: error in SSLv2/v3 read client hello A [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [info] (70014)End of file found: SSL handshake interrupted by system [Hint: Stop button pressed in browser?!] [Mon Jul 09 14:45:06 2007] [info] Connection to child 74 closed with abortive shutdown(server www.myserver.com:443, client 127.0.0.1) What's going on? www.myserver.com is a virtual host. I've made NO requests to that host but it appears in the logs with the above message.
