Bug #1586
closedSSL won't startup « not enough entropy in the pool »
Description
This is the exact message I get after building lighttpd and trying to start it.
(network.c.321) SSL: not enough entropy in the pool
So I tried to find this line in the source and to comment it, since my openssl has been build correctly and everything has been done well. I thought that there was a checking issue and no real problem behind it.
Actually I'm wrong, since if I comment it lighttpd will start up BUT when a attempt to connect via SSL / HTTPS i get another error message :
(connections.c.279) SSL: 1 error:140B512D:SSL routines:SSL_GET_NEW_SESSION:ssl session id callback failed
I tried to look at this section of the source but it gets me nowhere.
If anyone has an idea about a possible source of this « SSL: not enough entropy in the poo »
Thanks.

I've just noticed that lighttpd uses /dev/random and my software is chrooted into a higher level. So I think that's where the issue comes from.

Ah, and as a hint: the SSL errors come from openssl, so you won't find them in lighttpd, they are just forwarded.
