Hi ,
I am facing an issue with existing apache instances on hp unix. Looks like
mod_auth_digest is failing to generate secret for Digest . It fails with the
following error : [Thu Oct 01 03:19:45 2009] [notice] Digest: generating
secret for digest authentication ... [Thu Oct 01 03:19:45 2009] [crit] (2)No such file or
directory: Digest: error generating secret: No such file or directory Configuration Failed The httpd process completely dies off after giving this
error. This works fine if I disable mod_auth_digest, but am in favour of
understanding the issue and rather than trying this route (to disable
mod_auth_digest). On trying to google out , it seems people did face similar
issues when they didn’t have /dev/random or /dev/urandom device files but
these are already present on the system. crw-r--r-- 1
root
root 115 0x000001 Sep 26 10:14 /dev/urandom crw-r--r-- 1
root
root 115 0x000000 Sep 26 10:14 /dev/random The process is started as root and then uses application
user (user = xxxx , group = xxxx). The server team is not able to help much about this and this
is becoming a critical issue for us. These instances were all working fine before an upgrade was
done (openssl and something else which the server team is not revealing). The apache version being used is 2.2.11 on HP Unix
11.23. I am also attaching the tusc trace for this. Would really appreciate if someone will be able to help me
with this. Regards Soumendu |
