Hello all, I think I have found that an /etc/init.d/apache-ssl restart is the only way to properly restart apache-ssl after a logrotation. However, I've had apache-ssl die two days in a row, and the culprit appears to be some process that is sending apache-ssl a SIGUSR1 (what apache-ssl reload or httpsdctl graceful issues).
Here's the log: [Mon Apr 14 03:00:18 2003] [notice] SIGUSR1 received. Doing graceful restart [Mon Apr 14 03:00:18 2003] /usr/lib/apache-ssl/gcache started [Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [error] (2)No such file or directory: mod_mime_magic: ca n't read magic file /etc/apache-ssl/share/magic [Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] Apache/1.3.26 Ben-SSL/1.48 (Unix) Debian GNU/Li nux PHP/4.1.2 mod_perl/1.26 configured -- resuming normal operations [Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] suEXEC mechanism enabled (wrapper: /usr/lib/apa che-ssl/suexec) [Mon Apr 14 03:00:19 2003] [notice] Accept mutex: sysvsem (Default: sysvsem) the problem is I don't know what could possibly be issueing this SIGUSR1 signal to apache-ssl every morning at the exact same time that cron runs /etc/cron.daily. I've checked all my cron jobs and can't seem to find the culprit. if anyone has any ideas, I'd be grateful. thanks, Dave -- ******************************* David Wilk System Administrator Community Internet Access, Inc.
