Re: apache not started due to openssl upgrade

[Daniel <dferradal@xxxxxxxxx>]

The error does not say anything about not being able to load mod_ssl due to symbols or libraries missing, the error says syntax error. Although it may be what has been said, the error you show indicates syntax error at line 1702 and the message "/modules/mod_ssl.so" where it probably should be a relative path like "modules/mod_ssl.so" from ServerRoot or a full path.

I have seen different versions of mod_ssl work when they were compiled with other versions of openssl, so just fix the "syntax error" first and then make sure it is really that mod_ssl.so does not load.

You can even check if mod_ssl is missing some library from the system by opening up a terminal and typing the command "ldd /your/path/to/mod_ssl.so".

In any case the specific output of HTTPD own error.log file would help better.

mod_ssl always has to be paired with the same version as the OpenSSL version.
So, yes, you will need to upgrade / re-compile your Apache / mod_ssl
package.
