Package: apache-ssl
Version: 1.3.33-3
Severity: important
Hello. I'm getting very strange behaviour out of my apache-ssl server.
Without warning, I'm getting lines in /var/log/error.log like this:
EOF in saferead after 0 bytes
gcache: gcachecommon.c:108: ReadThing: Assertion `nRead == sizeof usLength' fail
[Fri Apr 22 11:14:48 2005] [notice] child pid 1588 exit signal Aborted (6)
[Fri Apr 22 11:14:48 2005] [warn] long lost child came home! (pid 1588)
Failed to connect to socket: /var/run/gcache_port
connect: Connection refused
apache-ssl: gcacheclient.c:118: OpenServer: Assertion `!"couldn't connect to socFailed to connect to socket: /var/run/gcache_port
connect: Connection refused
Of course, once the apache-ssl server starts giving the Assertion
errors, it keeps getting them until I intervene. This means that my SSL
pages are all busted.
I have the following in my /etc/apache-ssl/httpd.conf:
SSLCacheServerPath /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache
SSLCacheServerPort /var/run/gcache_port
Looking at gcachecommon.c in the apache-ssl patches for apache, it looks
like the EOF in saferead error is generated by gcache itself, because
it got a return of 0 from it's read() of /var/run/gcache_port. Then
that makes the ReadThing assert fail, and so gcache bails.
Without gcache running, apache-ssl can't do whatever it's supposed to do
with gcache and so the SSL serving pukes.
I don't know much more than this. In particular, I have no clue what
could be making gcache get EOF on that file.
Any help that can be given will be greatly appreciated.
