We are having problems trying to install the Secure Server v2.0 We have
tried installing on separate machine, both running Redhat 5.1. Both
machines are PII 200 w128MB RAM, 4.0GB IDE hard drives. One of the machines
is a fresh installation of Redhat. I have tried installing with no extra
packages, with all packages, and pretty well everything in between. The
symptoms are the same:
The install goes perfectly with no error messages.When you try and start
the web server by running /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd start, it just returns
"Starting Httpsd" and then nothing. No process ever starts.
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd status" lists "httpsd dead but subsys
locked"
Subsequent "httpsd stop" command removes lock on subsys. A check of
the
error_log reveals a zero byte file, with a timestamp corresponding to the
attempt to start the web server.
One thing of note is that if I try and load the mod_perl module it gives me
errors about not finding libperl.c, which is not to be found on the
harddrive, and a similar error regarding loading the mod_php module. It
returns an error about not finding mod_php.so which does not seem to have
been installed.
Any help which be greatly appreciated.

BTW - Secure Server 1.0 is running fine on another identical machine. We
have no problems with it.

Please make sure you are using the mod_perl and/or mod_php(3) that were
distributed with Secure Web Server, and not those which you have gotten
from Red Hat 5.1 or 5.2.
If you are already doing this, we''ll have to delve deeper into the
problem.

I am using the mod_perl and mod_php(3) that are distributed with the Secure
Web Server, but I don''t think that is the problem. I have installed the
Secure Server without any of these packages, and I still get the same
problem. httpsd will not start. It creates the subsys lock but the httpsd
process never seems to get started. There is nothing in the error_log: it
is a zero byte file and the time stamp matches the time of the attempt to
start the web server. I have tried starting the web server via
/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd as well as starting with httpd -f /etc/httpsd/conf
. Both methods give the same results. A check of /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpsd
status just lists the server as dead, with a lock on the subsys.
Any other ideas about where to look??
Cheers,
Scott

Forgive me if this also sounds like a silly question, but have you created
a certificate yet? The server will not run unless a valid certificate is
present.

Try starting it using the strace command.
This will often provide a clue as to why a program is failing.

Success.
I recreated the certificate and the web server started up, however,
mod_perl still did not work.
The certificate problem escapes me, but it works now, so what the hell.
After checking through httpd.conf, noticed that it tries to add libperl.c
but could not find this file.
I changed this to mod_perl.c and the web server starts with mod_perl
installed. I should have figured that one out earlier, but I didn''t.
This
issue should be addressed though, as the default httpd.conf file is incorrect.
The mod_php problem remains unsolved, but since we aren''t using that, I
am
not to worried. Thanks for letting me bounce ideas off the list.
