Error log

[Fri May 11 11:06:43 2012] [crit] (19)No such device: Digest: error generating secret: No such device Configuration Failed

Depending on the state of your system, perhaps the bundle contents are in a state of flux for some reason . .

or simply wasn’t configured properly during the install “configure” phase.

In any case, one immediately thing to try is “swconfig –x reconfigure=true hpuxws22APACHE”.
This will implicitly select the OpenSSL bundle as well, which is probably okay to include.

If you want to just reconfigure Apache, then use “swconfig -x reconfigure=true -x autoselect_dependencies=false hpuxws22APACHE”

Maybe this will fix it.

Well I did swconfig –x reconfigure=true hpuxws22APACHE but still the issue exists, but If I comment the line for digest in httpd.conf it is working.

This is a configuration issue.

I would check these in the first instance:

a) Do you have these devices:

/dev/random
/dev/urandom

If not, install them.

Or, check if this module is loaded:

# lsdev |grep rng
140 -1 rng pseudo

It must not show status "unknown":

# lsdev |grep rng
115 -1 rng unknown

# kcmodule -v rng
Module rng (0.1)

Depends On interface HPUX_11_31_PERF:1.0

b) What are the permissions on them. These are defaults:

cr--r--r-- 1 root sys 140 0x000000 Feb 15 14:42 /dev/random
cr--r--r-- 1 root sys 140 0x000001 Feb 15 14:42 /dev/urandom

However, I know of a case that had to change user and group ownership to "bin"
