So, you have the error:
[Wed Mar 18 15:03:33 2009] [alert] ERROR:NSS could not be initialized; The issue may be missing security DB files under /usr/local/apache22/sec_db_files; Please ensure that secmod.db, key3.db and cert7.db files are present under /usr/local/apache22/sec_db_files; Refer documentation for more details; Aborting Plugin initialization ...
Short description:
You will get this error only(?) if httpd.conf contains ssl and mod_loadbalancer modules together, like:
# cat httpd.conf| grep -i loadmodule | egrep "ssl|loadbalancer"
LoadModule apachelbplugin_module modules/mod_loadbalancer.so
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so
Workaround:
1. bundled openssl installed under /usr/sfw/
2. you have to install customed openssl (sunfreeware, opencsw)
3. recompile apache, use: --enable-ssl, --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
4. check mod_ssl
# ldd ./mod_ssl.so | grep ssl
libssl.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.8
libcrypto.so.0.9.8 => /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.8
5. restart apache
6. smile
