Author Apache doesn't load after NW6.5 SP3 is applied

Hello. Ran the SP3 update to NW 6.5 today and now apache won't run on
one of our servers. Runs fine two other recent updates. Here's the error:

[Mon May 09 15:07:10 2005] [crit] (10043)Unknown error:
make_secure_socket: failed to get a socket for port 443
Configuration Failed

Followed the instructions in this TID 10070141, except the part about
restart SAS, the console tells me "KernelOnly".

Any ideas?

Thanks!

With Apache unloaded take a look in TCPCON and see if port 443 is open.

Also please post the last entries from the sys:\apache2\logs\startup.err

443 is not open.

The startup.err file appears to be empty.

Try just restarting the server.

If this doesn't work tell me which of the following ports are being
listened to as seen in TCPCON:

80
81
389
524
636
2200
2211
8008
8009

I restarted the server last night, didn't help.

Here are the ports being listened to:
81
389
524
636
8008


Thanks again for your help.

Interesting combo. Looks like you have a cert that doesn't want to
work. 8009 comes from HTTPSTK (not apache) and the cert it references.

636 is encrypted LDAP.

Try the following:

Create a new cert for the server. Edit the httpd.conf using this cert
in the secure listen line.

Try to fire apache up.

Ok, I did that, but still nothing. Same error in the log.

Also, NetWare Remote Manager doesn't work either. It must be a
certificate issue, but I just can't see where.

Did you try http://serverip:8008 for NoRM?

Sorry about the delay, between my daughters wedding and my 2 main PCs going down at the same time I have been a little stressed trying to get to everything.

Check that the Public Key certificates are valid. If they've expired, run pkidiag. I had a similar problem. It turned out that the certificates had expired and when I rebooted the server after applying the patch, it wouldn't load the expired cert.

THat may help, and couldn't hurt.

The interesting thing is that LDAP was still binding to a secure port.
Normally if the server certs are bad/expired this will not happen.

What actually happened was that when SP3 was applied, our NPKIAPI.nlm
was corrupted. Once I replaced that, nearly everything worked. The
only thing that isn't working is just typing in the server's IP and
getting the default OES page.
