Apache: Could not initialize random number generator

Question

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: Comma         


        

Answer 1

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

Ensure that your system's PATH environment variable does not contain illegal characters such as "b?????Ä/????????".

Removing such entries resolved the problem for me.
