Hi All,
I’m currently trying to restore my virtual server backup on an Ubuntu 12.04 VPS (same operating system on which the backup was created if it might matter) with some frustration. The loading process happens without issue but apache fails when I try to start it… This problem is, however fixed as soon as I delete the restored server.
When I look in the apache error log, I’m confronted with the following:
[Fri Jan 02 03:40:23 2015] [notice] Graceful restart requested, doing restart
[Fri Jan 02 03:40:23 2015] [error] (9)Bad file descriptor: apr_socket_accept: (client socket)
[Fri Jan 02 03:40:23 2015] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...
[Fri Jan 02 03:40:23 2015] [notice] Digest: done
I checked out the virtualmin error log for the restored virutal server and found that there were some ssl issues:
[Fri Jan 02 04:11:30 2015] [error] Unable to configure permitted SSL ciphers
[Fri Jan 02 04:11:30 2015] [error] SSL Library Error: 336486680 error:140E6118:SSL routines:SSL_CIPHER_PROCESS_RULESTR:invalid command
[Fri Jan 02 04:11:30 2015] [error] SSL Library Error: 336486680 error:140E6118:SSL routines:SSL_CIPHER_PROCESS_RULESTR:invalid command
As a shot in the dark I tried disabling SSL on the restored virtual server via Virtualmin and apache started without a problem and the site came up (with no ssl of course).
What might be going on here and how might I resolve it?
Many thanks in advance!
