Connection problem: apache-modssl-mozilla...

fmeehan

Hi everyone,

I have the following problem:

When connecting to my apache server (apache-1.3.29-r1) in https mode using mod_ssl (mod_ssl-2.8.16) via mozilla (either 1.5, 1.6 or firebird-firefox) with my own self signed certificate, connect is fine, work ok but if I leave my browser idle for a little while, I get:

" the connection to myserver.mydomain has terminated unexpectedly"

I have to close the mozilla, restart and go back to my page.

In /var/log/apache/error_log I get the following:

[Sat Feb 14 11:25:45 2004] [notice] child pid 9785 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Have no errors on /var/log/apache/ssl_engine_log

Problem does not show up with IE 5.

Any ideas???

Regards,

Francois

Did you ever find a solution?

I have exactly this problem on my website, with apache 1.3.31. Firefox-based browsers (not 100% sure if Moz does this) cause Apache to segfault, but not IE. It does not crash *every* time, but it does most times.

Anybody with any ideas?

Edit: Also, the cert is not self-signed... It's a bought one.

I did solve this but I don't remember what exactly the fix was. I think all that was needed was a recompile of openssh or mod_ssl. Maybe just recompile openssh, mod_ssl, and apache.
