Hello, I am currently upgrading to opensuse-13.1 and experience a problem starting apache with an encrypted SSL server key. In older opensuse releases, I increased APACHE_START_TIMEOUT in /etc/sysconfig/apache2, and started the server manually by calling /etc/init.d/apache2 startssl But this don't seem to work anymore in 13.1. No matter how big I set the timeout, it always times out after about 90 seconds. Before the upgrade, I had to wait about 5 minutes until the passphrase prompt appeared. Here is a transcript: raven:/root # date; /etc/init.d/apache2 start; date Sat May 3 00:15:25 CEST 2014 redirecting to systemctl start apache2.service Job for apache2.service failed. See 'systemctl status apache2.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details. Sat May 3 00:16:55 CEST 2014 It times out after 90 seconds, although I have set APACHE_START_TIMEOUT=400. With older opensuse releases, I would get a passphrase prompt after several minutes. raven:/root # journalctl -xn -- Logs begin at Fri 2014-05-02 15:48:46 CEST, end at Sat 2014-05-03 00:17:21 CEST. -- May 03 00:16:55 raven systemd[1]: apache2.service operation timed out.
