I've compiled and installed mod_ssl-2.4.10-1.3.9, open_ssl-0.9.5a and
Apache-1.3.9 on an machine with the following OS: HP-UX 10.20.
But after the successfull installation Apache is unable to start, via
the "apachectl startssl" or the regular "apachectl start" commands.
I see the following entry in the error_log:
[error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA
private key.
>From the mailing list I've Known that this is a regular problem and I
understand that it's possible to resolve it by means of SSLRandomSeed
directives in httpd.conf. Is this correct ?
On systems without /dev/urandom (and HP-UX is one of this) the problem
is to generate a "randomness device".
Has anyone else encountered this error, and if so, could you give me a
step by step procedure about how to resolve it? Many thanks in advance.
