Well, let's compare logs.  :D

Mine has:
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:07 11321] [info]  Server: Apache/1.3.28, Interface:
mod_ssl/2.8.15, Library: OpenSSL/0.9.6d

Mine is the same to here (different server, of course)

^^^^^I am missing these three lines.

^^^^^These are the same in my log. (DH is Diffie-Hellman.)

Now things get different: I have basically a repeat of what we just saw:
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: 2nd startup round (already
detached)
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Reinitializing OpenSSL
library
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Seeding PRNG with 136 bytes
of entropy
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Configuring temporary RSA
private keys (512/1024 bits)
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Configuring temporary DH
parameters (512/1024 bits)

Then continuing:
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Initializing (virtual)
servers for SSL
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:10 11322] [info]  Init: Configuring server
[server]:443 for SSL protocol

Then somebody connects:
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:58 11323] [info]  Connection to child 0 established
(server [server]:443, client 10.10.10.10)
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:58 11323] [info]  Seeding PRNG with 1160 bytes of
entropy
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:59 11323] [info]  Connection: Client IP: 10.10.10.10,
Protocol: TLSv1, Cipher: RC4-SHA (128/128 bits)
[19/Sep/2003 13:03:59 11323] [info]  Initial (No.1) HTTPS request
received for child 0 (server [server]:443)

WAG:  Do you have the "Virtual Server" section configured correctly in
your httpd.conf?  The upgrade may have overwritten it, or maybe it's in
a different format now, or something?
