ApacheSSL: sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!!

Applies to

SuSE Linux: Version 5.3

You have started the ApacheSSL Server (Paket apassl-1.2.6), but you are getting the error message
Starting WWW/SSL-Server apache.
sqlinit: DBROOT must be set !!!
and the Secure Web Server terminates.

Cause:

Solution:

Just set the DBROOT variable, and then restart ApacheSSL. There are several possibilities, but one suffices.
  1. Install the adabas package and uninstall it immediately afterwards.
  2. Enter the following lines at the end of /etc/rc.config:
    # DBROOT: The top directory of the Adabas D installation.
    #
    DBROOT=/tmp
    
  3. Enter the following lines just after the end of the introductory comments in /sbin/init.d/apassl
    export DBROOT=/tmp
