Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: apache2

Enable SSL in the normal way; make a virtual host, etc., supply server
certs/keys. I got this following these instructions for the SSL setup
itself:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/forum/server/apache2/SSL

but following these instructions to generate my SSL cert/key pair:

http://www.eclectica.ca/howto/ssl-cert-howto.php

Upon a client attempt to connect to the server using SSL, the browser
reported an interrupted connection and in /var/log/apache2/error.log I
got this:

[Mon Nov 26 13:33:50 2007] [notice] child pid 16850 exit signal
Segmentation fault (11)

normal HTTP connections continued to work as before.

This appears possibly to be related to this bug:

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34846

which was laid at the door of a "bad patch" in that SuSE version, which
may give some clue as to fixing it. It's also been reported on
UbuntuForums without a solution (except the one I posted a few minutes
ago, which I'll repeat in this report); but I couldn't find a filed bug
relating to it:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=381515

My current workaround for this bug is to insert a line in /etc/apache2
/mods-enabled/ssl.conf as follows:

SSLVerifyClient none

... this was following a suggestion as to the nature of the problem
given *somewhere*. (I'm sorry, I'm going back over the pages I googled
to resolve this to see where it said the thing that caused me to try it,
but I can't see it now.) This workaround does appear to work completely
(unless you want client cert verification to work, I suppose!) Perhaps
it should be the default?
