NSS Initialization Failed

807189Oct 21 2010 — edited Jul 17 2012

I recently installed a fresh copy of Sun Webserver 6.1 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5. After successfully completing the install, I tried to start the administrative server and got the following errors in the log:

info ( 2979): CORE1116: Sun ONE Web Server 6.1SP11 B03/25/2009 14:56
failure ( 2980): CORE1227: NSS initialization failed: unknown error -8038: Certificate database: /opt/SUNWwbsvr/alias/https-admserv-hostname-cert8.db
failure ( 2980): CORE3174: NSS initialization failed

Does anyone have any ideas about what might be the problem? I noticed that the /opt/SunWwbsvr/alias folder was empty. Is that normal? I then tried copying the contents of the alias folder from another server to the machine with the empty alias folder. The problem persisted.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Note: Upgrading to WebServer 7 is not currently an option due to some ancient webapps.
