I had this problem also. One time it took 38 seconds to start, another time it took 2 minutes. Then another time I let it sit for about 10 minutes and it was still stuck trying to generate the digest secret.
Following another suggestion in this thread, I did and it generated enough entropy to let Apache finish loading, and all was well after that.
How would I know if I have a hardware RNG to take advantage of rng-tools?
Has anyone submitted a bug to Apache? Suggesting that it should put something else into the log, like "... This may take a long time", or if there's not enough entropy available, it would do another message after maybe 15-20 seconds saying "There is not enough entropy, waiting for entropy to become available. Try performing some random tasks on the server.", and also making apache NOT open the bind port until after the digest is generated.
