Happy New Year !

Fyi, one of the cron jobs returned this error too: nothing major, but maybe that could point you to a bug ? :

Undefined subroutine &Net::SSLeay::CTX_new called at ../web-lib-funcs.pl line 6043.
...propagated at http-monitor.pl line 67.
Alarm clock

If that can help understand: We had a series of errors on a host this morning, resulting in not enough file descriptors avail (that small server was still at 8192 max files open).

P.s. any news on your custom Apache package security upgrade ? ;-) http://www.virtualmin.com/node/12467

Status: 
Closed (fixed)

Looks like the Perl module Net::SSLeay could not be loaded .. which is surprising, as the Virtualmin install process adds it to all new systems.

If you run :

perl -e 'use Net::SSLeay'

does that report any error messages?

when running:

perl -e 'use Net::SSLeay'

no echo, no error.

But as the max # of open files (8192) was reached at that time, it doesn't surprise me that the file could not be loaded.

Feel free to close if you don't consider it as a bug ;-)

But please check with Joe's new year resolutions for updating the Apache package for Ubuntu/debian with latest ssl security fixes http://www.virtualmin.com/node/12467 .

Best Regards, Beat

Yes, hitting the FD limit would definately cause this.

I will check with Joe about that Apache issue.
