I have this in my my.conf with mysql-5.0.44-r2 [mysqld] ssl ssl-ca = /etc/mysql/ssl/cacert.pem ssl-cert = /etc/mysql/ssl/servidor-cert.pem ssl-key = /etc/mysql/ssl/serv-priv.pem When I type "#/etc/init.d/mysql start" it starts properly the server but without ssl (show variables like 'have_ssl'; return DISABLED) When I type "#/usr/sbin/mysqld" it asks for the "PEM pass phrase" and the server starts properly with have_ssl yes. Reproducible: Always
This is NOT a Gentoo Bugzilla product bug; read the descriptions.
You need to make SSL keys without passphrases.
