ssl with apache again

[Gregory Nowak]

Hi all.

I found the modssl manual, read most of it (including the faq), and made the ssl keys.

Then, I configured mod_ssl.conf (correctly I think), and uncommented the include line for it in httpd.conf.

Running apachectl test and apachectl restart went fine. However, if I try to access anything (including the plain old http://www.romuald.net.eu.org url), lynx gives me the last message that it is waiting for the http request response, and just sits there. In my error_log, I get a reptition of the following.

[Mon Aug  5 14:56:01 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex lockfile /var/log/apache/ssl_mutex.203 (System error follows)
[Mon Aug  5 14:56:01 2002] [error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)

What kind of permissions and ownership and group do I need to set?

I then remark out the include line for mod_ssl.conf in httpd.conf, do apachectl restart, and can access http://www.romuald.net.eu.org once again.

Could someone please help? Thanks.
Greg
