I work in academic environment where the installation and support of the Suse operating system is installed and managed by the ITS department and the academic department creates and supports application development. Our ITS department upgraded from Suse 42.3 to 15.0. Apache will start but does not work properly as we get the message “The page isn’t working” when attempting to access online. We are trying to use virtual hosts and use port 3000 for node.js. However, the error we receive seems to have more to do with openSSL. We get the following error in the log file.

[Mon Aug 12 16:01:15.825587 2019] [ssl:warn] [pid 8998] AH01873: Init: Session Cache is not configured [hint: SSLSessionCache]

Thank you for any assistance.

@GUProfessor:

Please have someone check the contents of ‘/etc/apache2/httpd.conf’.

After the upgrade was performed, did your IT folks run “rcrpmconfigcheck” and, did they execute all the changes this tool recommends?

Did your IT folks follow the upgrade instructions here <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:System_upgrade> and here <https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Offline_upgrade>?
Did your IT folks inspect the Leap 15.0 Release Notes? – <https://doc.opensuse.org/release-notes/x86_64/openSUSE/Leap/15.0/>

What happens when, your IT folks execute “zypper verify” and “rpm --verify --all” ?
