Sorry if this is a dumb question that has been answered in countless threads and FAQ's I just don't seem to have found those particular ones.
I have installed openssl 0.9.6d and generated a CA and a certificate (in pem format) using CA.pl. I configured mod_ssl 2.8.8 and mod_perl into apache1.3.24 All looks happy and I installed apache successfully. When I try to start apache, however (whether I try apachectl start or startssl) I get the following error : [Fri Jun 7 08:51:05 2002] [error] mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key (OpenSSL library error foll ows) [Fri Jun 7 08:51:05 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded [Fri Jun 7 08:51:05 2002] [error] OpenSSL: error:04069003:rsa routines:RSA_generate_key:BN lib I am running on solaris 8, do not have /dev/random or /dev/urandom but have a .rnd file in the $HOME directory. I created this on a Linux box and then copied it to solaris. I then tried generating a key using the openssl (openssl genrsa -des3 -rand file1 -out my.key 1024) command and this generated a new .rnd file. Any suggestion?
