Do you know that Fedora 16 has been End Of Life for over a year? If you're running something Internet facing on Fedora 16 I think you have bigger problems than Varnish not working.

Fedora 16 is 4 versions OUT OF DATE
and went End Of Life on 2013-02-12
OVER a year ago
as in it has been 14 months since the LAST SECURITY update
it is NOT a good idea to use dead and unsupported versions of operating systems

if you must use fedora

Then install the current Fedora 20

yes i know that but i can not upgrade because all my application and webserver live on this so please please give me the solution.

Please provide me solution because I can not upgrade me server......

There's no two ways about it if you want to keep yourself, your applications and the Internet a sane and safe place: install virtualization software locally: VMWare, VirtualBox or whatever you like, create a new virtualization guest, install Fedora 20 (or any other current Linux distribution with a less strenuous release schedule) and migrate your applications. Period.


Edit your .vcl file to make Varnish run in debug mode, ensure no Varnish processes run already, then start it from the command line with all the required arguments, then check your dmesg, /var/log/messages and whatever log Varnish logs to for clues.

You will have to MANUALLY rebuild openssl with the HEARTBLEAD fix in it !!!!
there is NO bug fix for that in the unsupported fedora 16

but if you must use a os as a webserver WITH a known hole ( the ssl bug)
( this is called a Foreverday hole because it will never be fixed )

then have a look over on the Fedoraforum section for
" End Of Life" operating systems
