Had power outage. Unable to restart after reboot with "apachectl startssl" Following was in error log: [Mon May 24 06:50:34 2004] [error] (17)File exists: Cannot allocate shared memory Reboot did not fix. Error message was NOT helpful so strace'd apachectl startup: open("/usr/local/apache2/logs/ssl_scache", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_EXCL, 0666) = -1 EEXIST (File exists) Removed ssl_scache file and was able to startup. Is O_CREAT a bad assumption for this file? Or this a function of shared memory? Also, error message should mention the file name.
