[cobalt-users] Apache problem.. Please Help! ssl_mutex problem

[Glenn Parsons <gparsons@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello All,

I've been through the archives and found two articles that reference this 
problem. Neither helpful. The original poster didn't understand his problem 
or what caused it, therefore no one was able to help him. I know what I 
did! It wasn't good!

The main problem is in Apache:

[Tue Feb 12 13:05:38 2002] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)
[Tue Feb 12 13:05:38 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex 
lockfi
le /var/log/httpd/ssl_mutex.27168 (System error follows)
[Tue Feb 12 13:05:38 2002] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)
[Tue Feb 12 13:05:40 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex 
lockfi
le /var/log/httpd/ssl_mutex.27168 (System error follows)
[Tue Feb 12 13:05:40 2002] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)

If you notice the frequency at which this is spinning off.. you understand 
the urgency to fix this!

This was caused in part by my discovery yesterday that the /var partition 
was completely full yesterday. I copied the files 'cp -dRp  /var/log/ 
/home'    and created a symbolic link in the /var dir. so my log directory 
was /hom/var/log. So far so good.

Something in /etc/cron.daily/  kicked the mess off this morning at 04:06. 
Cron.daily starts at 04:02.

I've got other RaQs in-house working. I have a working file system to 
compare to. This machine is a RaQ4r, BTW.

Thanks,
Glenn
