[cobalt-users] ssl library error msg

["Tom Arriola [Crime Scene]" <toma@xxxxxxxxx>]

I have a potential problem on the server.

I was trying to install a newer version of curl in a unique location so it
wouldn¹t affect the current install. While attempting to configure, it
couldn¹t locate the ssl libraries. I tried to help it find them via this
command:

./configure --prefix=/home/sites/home/users/admin/curly
--with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl

In addition I made an effort to reload the php.ini file via an httpd
retstart. That¹s when I saw that I was about to get in trouble. Here is the
message I got:

/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd restart
Shutting down Web Service: kill: (17736) - Not owner
httpd
rm: cannot unlink `/var/lock/subsys/httpd': Permission denied
rm: cannot unlink `/var/run/httpd.pid': Permission denied
Setting up Web Service: Site site1 has invalid certificate: 4999 Cannot

fopen: Permission denied
httpd: could not open error log file /var/log/httpd/error.
/usr/sbin/httpd

touch: creating `/var/lock/subsys/httpd': Permission denied


Most of that will go away if I login at root?but the message about my
invalid certificate has me spooked. Its valid but somewhere I have messed up
the path to it. With the holiday shopping I can¹t screw up the secure
server.

Can you save me from myself? Everything is working right now. I'm worried
that on a successful restart the secure cert won't work.

PS, I was upgrading my authorizenet credit card processing and it wasn¹t
working with the stock version of curl. I figured a new version might be the
solution. Before the install I had also tried to turn on php safe mode to
make the current install work, according to online support info.
