Hello,

I'm using CentOS 4.3 64bit edition, after I installed the DirectAdmin, and found that the Apache cannot be started, in the error_log and ssl_engine_log, I got the following error:

[Wed May 17 12:16:22 2006] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key

Could anyone please help me to solve this issue? Thanks!
 
HELP!!!

I'm getting this error also on a centos 3.7 machine running apache 1.3.36:

[02/Jun/2006 18:23:11 05134] [info] Init: Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes of entropy
[02/Jun/2006 18:23:11 05134] [info] Init: Generating temporary RSA private keys (512/1024 bits)
[02/Jun/2006 18:23:11 05134] [error] Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key

Unlike the other errors I search in google the PRNG is seeded in my example.

Thanks John but that's not it..

[root@leto dev]# ls -al *rand*
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 8 Sep 9 2004 random
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Jun 2 18:02 urandom

I know it worked intially on this server. I guess I'm going to have to do a reinstall.
 
A reinstall is drastic. Have you tried reading either random or urandom from the shell yourself?

It was a new install so it wasn't a big deal. The reinstall now works. cat of /dev/random and urandom on the old server didn't work. very odd.

It's something related to mysql 5.0.22 and php build that is causing this problem. Looking into it. Now that I have a good backup of the server I can figure out what has changed.

It's definately related to mysql 5 related somehow.

replaced the new mod_php with the one from backup and now apache works.

I believe I've found the issue.

configure.php file


replace:

--mysql=/usr \

with:

--mysqli=/usr \

seems to fix the problem.

Still not sure about the zlib issue but that is occuring on this server also

To add that is if you have only the standard shared libs for MySQL 5 and NOT the MySQL-shared-compat lib you can compile with the standard -mysql=/usr and it works.

Problem solved.
 
Thanks empoweri , i think the install of shared-compact rpm from the official site :

MySQL-shared-compat-5.0.XX-0.glibc23.x86_64.rpm

Its fast and better solution .
