ssl_cache_data will be _never_ created. That's the nature of DBM libraries:
When you open a file "XXX" or write to "XXX" always just XXX.{pag,dir} are
accessed and "XXX" is not used. At least for the usual NDBM libs out there I
know of. So, it's more a permission problem on the .pag/.dir files itself.
Make sure they're owned by the user under which Apache runs (e.g. nobody), not
the user which starts Apache (root) and that this user can write to it. On my
FreeBSD system (there .pag/.dir are not used, only a single .db because
FreeBSD uses DB/1.85) the permissions on the DBM file look like this:
-rw-r--r-- 1 nobody wheel 16384 Dec 2 10:39 apache.ssl_cache.db
