Hello,

When I boot up my system apache doesn't seem to wanna load up. In webmin, when I click 'Start Apache' it comes back with:

========================
Failed to start apache :
Starting httpd-perl: [ OK ]
Starting httpd2: [ OK ]
========================

When I check the error_log in the httpd directory I see:

====================================================
[Thu Aug 05 06:58:51 2004] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/sbin/apache2-suexec)
[Thu Aug 05 06:58:52 2004] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Thu Aug 05 06:58:52 2004] [notice] Digest: done
[Thu Aug 05 06:58:53 2004] [error] Cannot allocate shared memory: (17)File exists
====================================================

Does anyone have any idea why apache won't load? I have enough ram and plenty of hard drive space. Thanks in advance for any help.

I've experienced this too. Check your httpd.conf for SSL cache entries, and
then delete the relevant files. On my system I have this entry in the SSL
configuration section:

SSLSessionCache shm:/var/cache/mod_ssl/scache(512000)

So I have to delete /var/cache/mod_ssl/scache to bring the server back
online. -Gary
