I received this error after I tried to sign into google.com.  Thought everyone might be interested in seeing what a google error looks like since google works most of the time.

So you need to restart Apache that has a SSL certificate, but you don’t want to give the other admins the password, or for other reasons.  My reason for taking it out was that logrotate wants to restart Apache after log rotation.  Well with Apache sitting waiting for a password, it screws everything up, because it sits and waits for a password that is never entered.

server:/etc/apache2/keys# openssl rsa -in website.key  -out website.key.nopass
Enter pass phrase for website.key:
writing RSA key

Make sure you edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default or where ever you set up SSL on apache to make it use the new website.key.nopass key.  Look how wonderfully it restarts apache with out bothering you for a password now.

So it now looks like

SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/apache2/keys/roadwarriorvpn.key.nopass

Yaha it restarted with out having to enter a password.

front:/etc/apache2# /etc/init.d/apache2ssl  restart
Restarting web server: apache2 … waiting .
front:/etc/apache2#

So I had some trouble gettin snmp working. I edited /etc/snmp/conf/snmpd.conf with the proper trap and community for my enviroment.  Every time I tried to start snmp I would get erros.

checking /var/adm/messages

Nov  6 10:09:29 pressman2 /usr/lib/snmp/snmpdx: [ID 702911 daemon.error] can’t read the directory snmpd.conf [errno: Not a directory(20)]

me trying to start snmp

bash-3.00# svcadm enable svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

bash-3.00# svcs|grep snmp
offline        10:03:20 svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

On the second line you can see that I check and it was not started or offline.  So then it was time to consult with svcs -x.  That stated that I was missing a prerequisite process that snmp relied on.

bash-3.00# svcs -x
svc:/application/management/seaport:default (net-snmp SNMP daemon)
State: disabled since Wed Oct 28 16:25:27 2009
Reason: Disabled by an administrator.
See: http://sun.com/msg/SMF-8000-05
See: snmpd(1M)
Impact: 1 dependent service is not running.  (Use -v for list.)

bash-3.00# svcs |grep snmp
online         11:25:54 svc:/application/management/snmpdx:default

Now everything works like it should.
