Public bug reported: Binary package hint: apache2
When you configure apache to use a password-protected SSL key, you are prompted to provide that password when apache starts. The PID file has not been written at this point, so the init script won't work properly until the password is provided or apache is killed manually. In ubuntu 10.04, when apache is started by upstart, it cannot read input from the the console. You must login, kill it manually, then start apache. I was able to workaround the problem using by adding "stty sane" to /etc/init.d/apache2. sed -e '/^ENV=/i stty sane' /etc/init.d/apache2|sudo tee /etc/init.d/apache2 cden...@vmware:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 cden...@vmware:~$ apt-cache policy apache2 upstart apache2: Installed: 2.2.14-5ubuntu8 Candidate: 2.2.14-5ubuntu8 Version table: *** 2.2.14-5ubuntu8 0 500 http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status upstart: Installed: 0.6.5-6 Candidate: 0.6.5-6 Version table: *** 0.6.5-6 0 500 http://mirror.anl.gov/pub/ubuntu/ lucid/main Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: apache2 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- SSL pass phrase dialog can't read input https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/582963 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
