Actual Results: Service FAILED startup, but after further looking into it, apache says "Segmentation fault" Expected Results: Should have started apache Additional info:
More information: Just a default "Server" install of Roswell beta2 on a Dell Dimmension desktop. I made a few changes to /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf, but if I start the apache deamon manually like this: /usr/sbin/apache -DHAVE_PERL it starts just fine. If I start it with all of the "-D"'s that the init.d/httpd script wants to start it with, it seg faults.
I replaced the modified httpd.conf with the one that came with the rpm, same results. Seg fault.
Which version of the OpenSSL package do you have installed? Do you have PHP installed? If so, this should be fixed in openssl-0.9.6b-7 and later.
Default server install of roswell2, so my versions are: openssl-devel-0.9.6b-4 openssl-0.9.6b-4 php-4.0.6-5
If you (temporarily) remove PHP, does the server start correctly? If so, then this is definitely the same problem we're seeing.
BINGO # rpm -e php php-ldap php-imap warning: /etc/php.ini saved as /etc/php.ini.rpmsave [# /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart Stopping httpd: [FAILED] Starting httpd: [ OK ] Looks like that did the trick!
Okay, this is almost certainly the same problem I've been hitting with openssl-0.9.6b-4. If Raw Hide's 0.9.6b-6 doesn't fix it, the -7 in the next release should (i.e., httpd should start successfully, regardless of whether or not PHP is installed). Please reopen this bug ID if you find that -7 doesn't fix this problem.
