Apache: Could not initialize random number generator

问题:

I'm really frustrated, my apache server doesn't start, my error.log is this:

[Fri Jul 26 16:26:20.211050 2013] [core:notice] [pid 32240:tid 268] AH00094: Command line: 'c:\\users\\mrvisiont\\desktop\\xampp\\apache\\bin\\httpd.exe -d C:/Users/MrViSiOnT/Desktop/xampp/apache' [Fri Jul 26 16:26:20.213050 2013] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 32240:tid 268] AH00418: Parent: Created child process 32112 [Fri Jul 26 16:26:20.225050 2013] [:crit] [pid 32112] (-2146173818)Unknown error: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator [Fri Jul 26 16:26:20.227051 2013] [mpm_winnt:crit] [pid 32240:tid 268] AH00419: master_main: create child process failed. Exiting. 

I don't know what is the meaning of "Could not initialize random number generator"

Anybody knows what is the issue????

EDIT:

When I run httpd.exe, error.log is:

    [Fri Jul 26 16:52:31 2013] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...

EDIT (FYI): Thank you people! When I comment ServerName line from httpd.conf... error.log is:

    httpd.exe: Could not reliably determine the server's fully qualified domain name, using fe80::8e3:cc40:2151:c412 for ServerName [Fri Jul 26 17:03:11 2013] [notice] Digest: generating secret for digest authentication ...

回答1:

I had similar problem and troubleshooted for days before I finally stumbled upon the solution:

Ensure that your system's PATH

Removing such entries resolved the problem for me.

I had a similar problem:

[:crit] [pid 7368] (-2146173818)Unknown error: AH00141: Could not initialize random number generator 

I checked the system's PATH environment variable and found Chinese signs in it. Since I deleted them, Apache works fine.

Check your environment settings. There may be an invalid character in it. See http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?t=5535

Besides that: it looks like you are missing the logs directory.
