185848 - "Could not initialize the browser's security component" but no details

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Core Graveyard :: Security: UI, defect)

Description

[phil]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021215
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021215



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
I actually have mozilla SSL working on my original build machine. But when I
take the distrib, and copy it to another machine, it doesnt work with SSL any more.

It's not giving me any debug information beyond the "there may be a disk full,
or permissions problem". 

There is no disk full. The shared mozilla binary is owned by root. but running
it as root has the same problem. 
$MOZ_HOME/libssl3.so exists and is a valid lib

Actual Results:  
Got the pre-canned "Could not initialize.." with no real details of the failure

Expected Results:  
GIVE DETAILS on what *exactly * failed!


Not that it should matter any, but I compiled it on a sunblade 100 with gcc
2.95.3. I am running it (and failing SSL) on another sunblade. both running
solaris 8.

Try (backing up then) removing ~/.mozilla/<..userdir..>/*.db and restarting mozilla.

oops. forgot I had this thing open. sorry.
Thanks for looking at it again

when copying the install, I somehow missed one of the crucial files.
Now that my process copies them, SSL works okay.
