SSLSessionCache problem

I am having a problem with my SSL configuration. Without anything changing in the last month, my SSL has quit working. Any https address is simply dropped--no errors in the logs, no entries whatsoever in any logs. The only indication that I have that something is wrong (and, thus, causing the engine to drop requests???) is the following warning:
[tt]
[Fri Mar 05 17:38:12 2004] [warn] Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]
[/tt]
This has only just started appearing in the logs today. No OS changes, no Apache configuration changes, NOTHING HAS CHANGED?!?!?

The following are the relevant configuration settings for the ssl cache:

-----------------------
From httpd.conf:
-----------------------
[tt]
Include conf/ssl.conf
[/tt]


-----------------------
From ssl.conf:
-----------------------
[tt]
#SSLSessionCache none
#SSLSessionCache shmht:logs/ssl_scache(512000)
#SSLSessionCache shmcb:logs/ssl_scache(512000)
SSLSessionCache dbm:logs/ssl_scache
[/tt]


No matter what SSLSessionCache setting I have, I still get the "not configured" warning.

Can anyone tell me why this isn't working? I have rebooted the machine, restarted Apache, recreated the configuration file from scratch, et. al. and nothing seems to work. I cannot tell what the problem is and I cannot get any SSL page to come up. All HTTP pages work fine.

Thank you in advance for your help.

ivanwin2k,

Still having this problem? You don't mention if you may have upgraded openSSL, but that may be a factor if you have.

Does /logs/ssl_scache exist? If so, doess it have any useful data.
