#8 nuxwdog systemd - memory error when starting subCA
Closed: fixed 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by dmoluguw.

When subCA is installed and nuxwdog is enabled for that instance, the server fails to start. It seems some kind of unintended memory free operation is being performed causing the following error:

Further investigating, when nuxwdog is started from commandline by following the guidelines from here: http://www.dogtagpki.org/wiki/Nuxwdog/HOWTO#Running_nuxwdog the server starts successfully.

Root Cause of the Issue: The nuxwdog and systemd communication might be broken which causes this issue
