Do you need to put a LoadModule directive in httpd.conf for ssl? Do a search in your httpd.conf for "DSO". Check if your mod_ssl was statically compiled using "httpd -l" which lists the statically compiled modules. BZAG +++++++++++++++++++++++ >From Spencer Plantier: I have installed openssl without any errors and php without any errors. Could someone help me troubleshoot this error. I am new to apache and am starting to hit deadlines on trying to get apache up and running. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is how I built openssl: ../config make make build-shared mv libssl.so* /usr/local/lib mv libcrypto.so* /usr/local/lib Syntax error on line 251 of /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd: fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so: symbol X509_INFO_free: referenced symbol not found # ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Oh fools, so hard do ye tread the mines lain at Golgotha in search of reality for the sake of truth, only to find it and despair !
