I tried this question with users and was directed here. If that is wrong, please let me know. Thanks
I'm trying to start Apache/2.1.0-dev with mod_ssl enabled and all I keep getting is the dreaded: [Wed Jun 18 15:31:59 2003] [warn] Init: PRNG still contains insufficient entropy! [Wed Jun 18 15:31:59 2003] [error] Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key Configuration Failed I understand that this is controlled by SSLRandomSeed in the httpd.conf file, and I've tried the following pairs to generate enough entropy: SSLRandomSeed startup exec:`/usr/local/add-on/egd/bin/egc.pl /etc/local/openssh/egd-pool` SSLRandomSeed connect exec:`/usr/local/add-on/egd/bin/egc.pl /etc/local/openssh/egd-pool` SSLRandomSeed startup egd:/etc/local/openssh/egd-pool SSLRandomSeed connect egd:/etc/local/openssh/egd-pool SSLRandomSeed startup file:/etc/local/openssh/httpd_ssl.seed SSLRandomSeed connect file:/etc/local/openssh/httpd_ssl.seed SSLRandomSeed startup builtin SSLRandomSeed connect builtin where /etc/local/openssh/httpd_ssl.seed was created by: /usr/local/add-on/egd/bin/egc.pl /etc/local/openssh/egd-pool read 255 and /etc/local/openssh/egd-pool is the socket from egd.pl ( which works fine with pnrgd for opensshd ). Any thoughts/pointers will be greatly appreciated. The cvs date is 20030612 and other info on httpd are: Server version: Apache/2.1.0-dev Server built: Jun 12 2003 12:14:31 Server version: Apache/2.1.0-dev Server built: Jun 12 2003 12:14:31 Server's Module Magic Number: 20030213:1 Architecture: 32-bit Server compiled with.... -D APACHE_MPM_DIR="server/mpm/prefork" -D APR_HAS_MMAP -D APR_HAVE_IPV6 (IPv4-mapped addresses enabled) -D APR_USE_PROC_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D APR_USE_PTHREAD_SERIALIZE -D SINGLE_LISTEN_UNSERIALIZED_ACCEPT -D APR_HAS_OTHER_CHILD -D AP_HAVE_RELIABLE_PIPED_LOGS -D HTTPD_ROOT="/local/APACHE/Apache2" -D SUEXEC_BIN="/local/APACHE/Apache2/bin/suexec" -D DEFAULT_PIDLOG="logs/httpd.pid" -D DEFAULT_SCOREBOARD="logs/apache_runtime_status" -D DEFAULT_LOCKFILE="logs/accept.lock" -D DEFAULT_ERRORLOG="logs/error_log" -D AP_TYPES_CONFIG_FILE="conf/mime.types" -D SERVER_CONFIG_FILE="conf/httpd.conf" Compiled in modules: core.c mod_authn_file.c mod_authn_default.c mod_authz_host.c mod_authz_groupfile.c mod_authz_user.c mod_authz_default.c mod_auth_basic.c mod_include.c mod_log_config.c mod_env.c mod_setenvif.c mod_ssl.c prefork.c http_core.c mod_mime.c mod_status.c mod_autoindex.c mod_asis.c mod_cgi.c mod_negotiation.c mod_dir.c mod_imap.c mod_actions.c mod_userdir.c mod_alias.c mod_so.c
