Greetings,

I recently upgraded the kernel on my 7.2 server from 2.4.9-21 to 2.4.9-31, 
applying all other update rpm's as well.  Apache now refuses to start 
properly, with the following error in /var/log/httpd/error_log:

[error] mod_ssl: Child could not open SSLMutex lockfile 
/etc/httpd/logs/ssl_mutex.13277 (System error follows)
[error] System: Permission denied (errno: 13)

It appears as though apache's child process isn't able to open or create a 
lockfile, but I'm not sure what to do about it.  Ownership/permissions on 
/var/log/httpd are root:apache and 775.

I currently have mod_ssl-2.8.5-4 and openssl-0.9.6b-8 installed and 
although I did compile my own kernel from the kernel-source rpm, I don't 
remember seeing anything in there that would cause this problem.

I haven't actually used apache with ssl , but apache did start without any 
complaints prior to the kernel upgrade.  I haven't made any significant 
changes to apache's config file, other than temporarily disabling the ssl 
portion until I can find the problem.

Any thoughts?  Thanks!

-Eric
