Hi Ralf,
We're running Debian Linux (kernel 2.2.7, glibc 2.1), apache 1.3.6 & mod_ssl
2.3.5.
Unless we manually chown the ssl_scache.dir and ssl_scache.pag files, we
get:
Can't open SSLSessionCache DBM file for writing (store): system error
follows
w/ a system error of Permission denied.
The system acts a little flaky, but I haven't been able to track down
consitent negative behavior.
I added some debugging statements to ssl_engine_scache.c (in the
ssl_scache_dbm_init() function). It turns out that somehow,
SSL_DBM_FILE_SUFFIX_DIR and SSL_DBM_FILE_SUFFIX_PAG are both defined as
".db" instead of ".pag" and ".dir", respectively. I don't know why they're
getting defined this way in mod_ssl.h (and I'm not sure how to debug
preproccessor stuff). This of course causes chown() to fail.
Check those return values!!!
Anyway, manually chowning the files fixes this, and as I said, I'm not sure
this caused any actual problems (besides presumably adding connection
overhead by forcing renegotiated sesssions).
Thought you'd want to know, though. Let me know if you need more info.
