Everyone - 

   I am having trouble using SSL with apache for my website.

   Things will go along fine for a while - getting every page that I ask for. Then, 
after an unpredictable amount of time, I will get "The page cannot be displayed" in my 
browser window and the following message will be written to apache's error_log:

[Fri Feb 20 14:14:06 2004] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (server scribe.
dt.navy.mil:443, client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Fri Feb 20 14:14:06 2004] [error] OpenSSL: error:1408F455:SSL routines:SSL3_GET
_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac

   It is always the same ssl error. I have tried reading the openssl documentation and 
searching in the archives, but I have found very little to help me.

   I am wondering if the base problem is with openssl. When I compile it, the 
configure and make appear to progress with no errors, but make test will fail somplace 
within the bn_* tests. The exact failure varies, even with simply repeating the make 
test step. I have tried this with openssl-0.9.6l and with openssl-0.9.7c. By the way, 
I did see the reference to errstr in the INSTALL document, but it does not exist as an 
executable on my system - only as  .c and .o files. (I went ahead and did make install 
with the 0.9.6l version, despite the make test problems, hoping that the errors were 
not significant, but ...)

    Pointers would be appreciated very much!

    Applicable software:

           Solaris 7
           Apache 1.3.29
           mod_ssl 2.8.16
           egd 0.9
           openssl 0.9.6l or openssl 0.9.7c
