Problems with starting Apache2 + SSL on Linux

[Jarmak]

Hello,

I have a problems with starting Apache2 + SSL on my Linux server (RH9).

I installed and configured openssl and apache2 as is described on www.devside.net

When I tried to start my server with SSL I got an error:


Syntax error on line 245 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so: undefined symbol: X509_free

but



start O.K.

What can be a reason of that error?

Best regards,

Jarek

That happens when you build OpenSSL as a static lib, and have apache load is as a dynamic module.

When you built openssl, did you do this:

.../openssl-0.9.7b]# ./config shared ...

Did you put in the "shared", as the instructions say?

If you did, than you most likely have an older OpenSSL that came with your distro, and you did not "Update the Run-time Linker".
