RE: Errors with firefox

I had exactly the same problem when I compile my new Apache server
(2.2.0) with mod_ssl.  To be short, I think you are using the packaged
OpenSSL.  I fixed the problem by re-compiling the OpenSSL on the system
with shared option, but first remove the pre-installed OpenSSL package.

Subject: Errors with firefox

 

Hello there

Not sure if the underlying problem here is with mod_ssl or openssl or
something else - so apologies if this email is going to the wrong place.

I have apache compiled on solaris with sun cc with mod_ssl-
2.8.25-1.3.34 and openssl-0.9.8a (I've also tried 0.9.7i).

When accessing the site using Internet Explorer I have no problems.
With Firefox the browser reports an 'incorrect Message Authentication
Code' and the server logs report: 

[Mon Jan 23 13:13:54 2006] [error] mod_ssl: SSL handshake failed (server
xxx:443, client xxx) (OpenSSL library error follows)
[Mon Jan 23 13:13:54 2006] [error] OpenSSL: error:1408F455:SSL
routines:SSL3_GET_RECORD:decryption failed or bad record mac 

I do have previous builds that 'work' ... but have been unable to
determine precisely what change initiated this problem.  One possible
suspect is the Sun compiler, which was now from studio 11 and was
previously from an earlier version which I don't have access to any
more. 

Any suggestions much appreciated

Thanks
