Apache 2.2 on Windows Session Cache Error

by | Oct 13, 2009 | Apache, Windows | 2 comments

Apache IconThere appears to be a bug with Apache 2.2.13 which I ran into on Windows Server. See the following bug entry: Bug 23403. Opening the error.log for Apache showed the following warning:

warn Init: Session Cache is not configured (hint: SSLSessionCache)

Adding the following lines to the httpd.conf fixed the problem:

SSLSessionCache        "shmcb:c:/Apache/logs/ssl_scache(512000)"
SSLSessionCacheTimeout  300

Note: your Apache installation directory is probably different, so you will want to modify the above file path.

    Provided suggestion fixed same error on my Server:

    Apache/2.2.16 (Win32) mod_ssl/2.2.16 OpenSSL/0.9.8o

    Windows Apache 2.4: I added this solution to my IFModule ssl_module in http.conf area and it worked without issues. If in your http-ssl.conf area it fails. Still a valid solution for me.
