[solved] httpd won't start because of RSA server private key
« on: November 19, 2006, 10:14:11 PM »
Can someone help me solve this problem. After reinstalling my server and trying to install all neccesarry RPM's to enable me to do a dister recovery restore of my backup I ran into the following problem: httpd is not starting anymore (it has done properly before right after install and a few post-upgrade/reboot events).
Also restarting httpd returns OK, but if I view my process list I only see one process instead of the 10 I normally see.

My httpd error_log shows the following error
Code: [Select]
[Sun Nov 19 21:58:12 2006] [warn] RSA server certificate CommonName (CN) `homer.snetram.nl' does NOT match server name!?
[Sun Nov 19 21:58:12 2006] [error] Unable to configure RSA server private key

To me it seems like a problem with my SSL certificate. Does somebody now how to solve this? I have already tried a reconfigure command, also tried the domain-modify event. All to no avail.

Solved it by accessing my server per SSH and accessing the server manager per lynx on port 980. Modified the default parameters under the directory entry and now everything works OK again.
