Hi, just upgraded a host from potato to woody, I observed that my apache-ssl failed to work.
Well, it actually starts but goes down immediately: # /usr/sbin/apache-sslctl start Reading key for server <my.server>:443 Enter PEM pass phrase: Launching... /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache pid=22730 /usr/sbin/apache-sslctl start: httpsd started or similary: # /etc/init.d/apache-ssl start Starting web server: apache-sslReading key for server <my.server>:443 Enter PEM pass phrase: Launching... /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache pid=22999 . The error log says: [Mon Feb 25 15:20:36 2002] [crit] (22)Invalid argument: Error reading private key file /etc/apache-ssl/secret.key: [Mon Feb 25 15:20:36 2002] [crit] error:0906406D:PEM routines:DEF_CALLBACK:problems getting password [Mon Feb 25 15:20:36 2002] [crit] error:0906A068:PEM routines:PEM_do_header:bad password read My PEM pass phrase is ok; in case of a typo I get something like: # /usr/sbin/apache-sslctl start Reading key for server <my.server>:443 Enter PEM pass phrase: Bad passphrase - try again When I remove the passphrase from /etc/apache-ssl/secret.key (such that it is only proteced by its file permissions) then apache-ssl works fine. I also tried apache-ssl from unstable (1.3.23.1+1.45-1) which gives the same results. I would appreciate any hints! Is it my fault or is this a bug (a feature?) within apache-ssl? Thanks, Thomas
