[cobalt-users] Httpd Hangs twice a day. Mod_ssl problem ??

["Ligard, Vidar" <vligard@xxxxxxxxx>]

All,

My apache on a Raq XTR hangs irregularly 2-6 times daily :(
I get an email saying the ASP Server is not operating correctly,
But I don't think that is the problem.

In my httpd error log file, I have lot's of these:
[Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `/var/log/httpd/ssl_scache' for scanning (System error follows)
[Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] System: No such file or directory (errno: 2)                   [Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `/var/log/httpd/ssl_scache' for reading (fetch) (System error follows)                                             [Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] System: No such file or directory (errno: 2)
[Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] mod_ssl: Cannot open SSLSessionCache DBM file `/var/log/httpd/ssl_scache' for writing (store) (System error follows)
[Thu Jul 17 08:53:26 2003] [error] System: No such file or directory (errno: 2)

My http.conf has the standard:
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
SSLSessionCache         dbm:/var/log/httpd/ssl_scache
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300
SSLMutex                file:/var/log/httpd/ssl_mutex
SSLRandomSeed startup   file:/dev/urandom 512
SSLRandomSeed connect   builtin
</IfModule>

An ls -l of my /var/log/httpd shows:
-rw-------   1 httpd    root            0 Jul 17 08:57 ssl_mutex.16142
-rw-------   1 httpd    root            0 Jul 17 08:57 ssl_scache.dir
-rw-------   1 httpd    root         8192 Jul 17 09:47 ssl_scache.pag

Originally these files did not exist, because user httpd did not have write permission
In the directory. I gave httpd write permission in the log directory and restarted the httpd
Daemon. It then created the above files, but I still get the same error messages.

I have searched this archive and others, but not seen a solution, only a few others with same problem. Anyone have a clue??
