>Description:
I Installed the port apache+ssl-1.3.12.1.40 but the server would not
even start up. I'll try to describe what problems I noticed and what
I had to do to get the server working:
1. Allthough the configuration file was installed
under /usr/local/etc/apache/httpsd.conf the
script /usr/local/sbin/httpsdctl doesn't tell httpsd(8) anything
about this non-default configuration file.
The result was the following error after invoking
'/usr/local/sbin/httpsdctl start':
fopen: No such file or directory
httpsd: could not open document config file /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf
/usr/local/sbin/httpsdctl start: httpd could not be started
2. After I moved the configuration file to the default
/usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf the server still couldn't be
started. The reason could be found in the file
/var/log/httpsd_error_log:
[Sat Aug 4 21:36:32 2001] [crit] Required SSLCacheServerPort missing
3. After I created the directory /usr/local/www/cache and added the
following lines
SSLCacheServerPath /usr/local/sbin/gcache
SSLCacheServerPort /usr/local/www/cache/karga.test.ssl.cache.socket
SSLSessionCacheTimeout 300
to the configuration file, the server still doesn't start because of
[Sat Aug 4 21:43:13 2001] [crit] No SSL Certificate set for server karga.et.bocholt.fh-ge.de:80
(OK - that is not really a problem of the port but if the server
wouldn't run without an SSL Certificate, I think it would be
convenient if the user would at least be informed how to generate
a certificate).
4. Now, I created a test certificate as described at
http://www.apache-ssl.org/ and added the following lines to
the configuration file to tell the server where it can find the
certificate files:
SSLCertificateKeyFile /usr/local/www/certs/karga.test.key
SSLCertificateFile /usr/local/www/certs/karga.test.cert
5. Finally I had to change the Port entry in the configuration file
from 80 to 443 and after that the server started up and worked.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install the port and try to start the server.
>Fix:
A 'make install' should install a suitable configuration file,
create needed directories - maybe even guide the user to the
generation of a certificate.
