mod_ssl: Init: Failed to generate temporary 512 bit RSA private key

This error appears to show up sometimes when using MySQL 5 with –with-mysql=/usr.
There have been reports that changing it to –with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config will fix this, but when I tried it, the mysql client api in php was set to mysql 3, so it wasn’t quite working. The solution I used was to have them both in the configure.php:
–with-mysql=/usr \
–with-mysqli=/usr/bin/mysql_config \
Then recompile php:
./build clean
./build php n
Then I edited the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf and changed:
SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/random 512
#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/random 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 512
To
#SSLRandomSeed startup builtin
#SSLRandomSeed connect builtin
#SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/random 512
SSLRandomSeed startup file:/dev/urandom 512
#SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/random 512
SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 512
Quite possibly, only the changes to the httpd.conf are actually required, but adding the extra functionality of mysqli probably won’t hurt any.
I also upgraded MySQL to 5.0.41 (this case, it was a 64-bit server):
