Anyone ever heard of ANYTHING like this?
First of all, I assume you are starting apache with SSL..., i.e. # ./apachectl startssl or # ./httpd -DSSL or something similar. Unless you tell it specifically to use SSL, apache will start only HTTP. Having established that, when you say "out of the blue" - what happened? Did you or anyone else or some automatic process (e.g. log rotating cron job) restart the server? Did anyone do a "kill -HUP" or "kill -USR1" causing apache to reload httpd.conf? Did httpd.conf change? By the way, I am not asking you to check your memory for these events - you must look in the logfile and check the modification date on httpd.conf. Check over the error_log - it contains all records of server shutdown or restart: e.g. this is what a normal shutdown and restart looks like in the log-file: [Tue Jul 3 17:02:21 2001] [notice] caught SIGTERM, shutting down [Tue Jul 3 17:02:24 2001] [notice] Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_perl/1 .25 mod_ssl/2.8.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 configured -- resuming normal operations [Tue Jul 3 17:02:24 2001] [info] Server built: Mar 19 2001 14:44:03 Look especially for errors there. Particularly, is your mod_ssl compiled in or loaded as a DSO? If DSO, could it have failed to load? Also check the SSLEngineLog. If nothing is apparent, try the restart again and "tail -f" both these files to see what's going on. Report back your findings.
