Hi all -

This seems to be a commonly reported problem, but for all the archives
and FAQs I've read, I am no further forward. Here is the situation: 

Apache 1.3.26, openSSL 0.9.6g, mod_ssl 2.8.10-1.3.26, Compaq Tru64 UNIX
4.0F.

On starting Apache, it immediately exits and logs the following in the
error log file:

[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate
temporary 512 bit RSA private key (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number
generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
[Tue Aug 20 15:50:13 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa
routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib

The FAQ refers to the SSLRandomSeed directive; this is set in the
httpd.conf file as

SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin

(As I'm running on Tru64 I don't have the option of using /dev/random)

It also refers to problems at the "make certificate" stage; that seems
to have gone through without any problems.

I've also read that there are problems with PHP, so I have removed all
reference in the httpd.conf file to the dynamic PHP module, and for good
measure the dynamic Apache Jserv module, so these are not loading. Still
no diference.

Can anyone offer me some more pointers?

Thanks

Richard
