SSL CTX contains no cyphers

[JimBodkins]

I have been using CentOS 4.5 and was looking at Ubuntu as a new platform.

I just compiled and ran one ap - a hotel reservation module - and received - SSL CTX contains no ciphers.

I guess this means ubuntu cant be used commercially. Very disappointing.



P.S.
ERR_print_errors_fp (logfd); generates

18452:error:140A90A1:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_new:library has no ciphers:ssl_lib.c:1
424:

This is in a function that does ..

{
SSL_METHOD *method;
SSL_CTX *ctx;

OpenSSL_add_all_algorithms (); /* Load cryptos, et.al. */
SSL_load_error_strings (); /* Bring in and register error messages */
method = SSLv3_client_method (); /* Create new client-method instance */
ctx = SSL_CTX_new (method); /* Create new context */
if (ctx == NULL)
{
ERR_print_errors_fR_print_errors_fp (logfd);
abort ();
}
return ctx;

It is the bug in openssl lib
see here Bug#335836 (http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-openssl-devel/2005-October/000219.html)

Solution for your problem is, call the routine SSL_library_init()
before making call to any SSL library functions.

It works!!!

It's a bug that affects Debian-based distributions, including Debian itself. CentOS is RedHat-based, so you were safe there... :)

kadamcd's solution also works for Ubuntu 12.04.
