Hi,
i did read through the FAQ. The following are the steps i did in order to
fix the error :
1. installed Sun patch 105710-01 (Sparc) which adds a /dev/random device.
2. added 'setenv RANDFILE /export/home/tmp/randfile.rnd'
3. did procedure make certificate and didn't see any error
But, i still got the same error "Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA
private key" when i try to start apache.
How do i make sure the randomness device gets used through $RANDFILE
correctly ?
Thanks,
mph
