Enabling SSL makes apache2 segfault

Our other server started segfaulting too when ssl is enabled.. We are now unable to provide ssl certificates to our customers.. Any feedback on this please?

Thanks a lot!

If there is anything i can do to help, please let me know!

Are you running php? It would seem that apache2+mod_ssl+php causes some problems. Or at least that is what Ive been able to glean from google. I'd also check that /dev/urandom is working as apache seems to be dying just after accessing it.

I'm not running mod_php, but php-cgi, with suphp..
Also, i found a hackish workaround for it..
When i do this:

/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
mv /etc/apache2/sites-enabled /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.old
mkdir /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
rm -r /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
mv /etc/apache2/sites-enabled.old /etc/apache2/sites-enabled
/etc/init.d/apache2 reload

Everything works just fine.
One host has 1000+ virtualhosts, the other 700+.
The second worked fine until recently ( probably when a certain number of virtualhosts were reached. )
So it seems mod_ssl can't handle that many virtualhosts when it initialises, therefor crashes.. once it's enabled, it doesn't seem to mind so many hosts...

Could it be possible to update apache2 to 2.0.59 for Feisty? I'll check to see wether the bug is fixed in this release.. Thanks!

It seems apache2.2 is already in debian testing.. Might be a good time to switch... ;)

Could you please verify that this is fixed in Feisty? Thank you!

Never encountered the bug anymore.. you can consider it fixed :P

Closing the bug as requested.
