try this https://askubuntu.com/questions/1323305/apache-commands-failing-with-ah00141-could-not-initialize-random-number-genera

Hi @Michu, thanks for the link. I've tried that with no success.

Perusing available online reports on AH00141 was the first thing I did.
I've tried most of what can be done up to recompiling httpd itself and symlinking the working binary but just could get the custom build to work with the provided convenience from the GUI.

I will retry downgrading all that can be downgraded soon using available binaries in the repository but at libaprutil1 alone, I could not downgrade that library.

I am still not sure though if Nethunter builds or issues from one of the official images should be reported here. If it should be on another bugtracking system, let me know so it can reach the right people.

i found this article https://stackoverflow.com/questions/17884176/apache-could-not-initialize-random-number-generator and people there says that it could be PATH variable try it maybe it will work it don't cost you

Managed to rebuild from source and by source this time, the source used in 2021.2 fullfs of the Nethunter release for Nexus 5

Last time I rebuilt it using apache repository.

tldr;
enable sources
apt source apache2
purge apache2 libapr1 libaprutil1
checked out an older version of libapr and libaprutil1
configure, compile, install, configure, run

#!/bin/bash

cd ~/Downloads
apt source apache2
cd apache2-2.4.48
apt purge apache2
apt remove libapr1
apt remove libaprutil1
# clean-up all apache2 directories to ensure what will be referenced
apt install subversion
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/tags/1.5.2/ srclib/apr
svn co https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr-util/tags/1.5.4/ srclib/apr-util
autoconf
./buildconf
./configure --with-included-apr --enable-layout=Debian --with-program-name=apache2
sed -i 's/BUILD_DATETIME/"\`date +%FT%T\`";/`' server/buildmark.c
make
make install
cp support/apachectl /usr/sbin/apache2ctl
cp debian/config-dirs/envvars /etc/apache2/envvars
sed -i 's/\$SUFFIX\/apache2\.pid/\.pid/' /etc/apache2/envvars
sed -i 's/ServerRoot\ \"\"/ServerRoot\ \"\/etc\/apache2\"/' /etc/apache/apache2.conf
echo 'ServerName "localhost"' >> /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

so this article helped you or you did it by yourself

@Michu I took inspiration from the same first article we both found online. ex. Downgrade APR.

And figured out all the other necessary steps by myself to get an Apache build specific to the debian layout to ensure that Nethunter conveniences/menu are usable for the custom build.

Thank you all the same. :)

good to hear that you figured out what you need to do to resolve your problem and i'm here to help just like the others that's what matters cheers :)
