Apache and mod_ssl (extra info)

   So
I tried something kind of new.  I completely removed the directory =
with
the non-functioning apache install.  I went back to the source, did =
a make
clean, a new configure using the same parameters as before:  =

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>./configure --prefix=3D/opt/apache3 =

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'> Had SHLIB_PATH set to =
“/opt/openssl098d/lib:/usr/local/OpenLDAP.2.3/lib”
 as well as CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS set with –I and –L =
flags for
those two non-standard directories.  This is all the same as what I =
had
done before.

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>After the make, make install, I went in to the =
installed directory
and made as minimal changes as I could.  I changed Listen port in =
the main
httpd.conf to 8040 and the Listen port (as well as the VirtualHost port) =
in
ssl.conf to 8045 so it wouldn’t step on the toes of the production =
apache
process.  I then changed the User and Group directives in =
httpd.conf to
the webadmin user which the other apache process runs as.  Launched =
this
just about plain jane apache using apachectl startssl.  Connecting =
via
http to 8040, everything looks fine.  Connecting via https to port =
8045
shows the behavior of child processing hanging in a waiting =
state.

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Am I wrong in thinking this is a permissions issue? =
 Or
perhaps something is funky with the fact that the SSL libraries are in a
strange spot?  I’ve tried adding the library path to envvars =
in apache3/bin
and having PassEnv SHLIB_PATH in the httpd.conf.  However, the =
WORKING
installation is linked to these exact same libraries and although =
there’s
a PassEnv command in it’s httpd.conf, nothing was added to =
envvars.

style=3D'font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>If it * style=3D'font-weight:bold'>is* a
permissions issue, what does mod_ssl need permission to get to in order =
to
function properly?  I notice that the ssl_scache.dir and =
ssl_scache.pag
files are created in the logs directory, (though the .dir file is 0 =
bytes) both
owned by webadmin, so that user can at least CREATE files in that =
directory.
