Hi, it is important how you start apache. If you start it manual then the library path of ssl in /etc/profile unter LD_LIBRARY_PATH is enough. If you start apache at system boot, the /etc/profile is not read. In this case you have to make sure that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for ssl lib is set in apaches bin/envvars file for example. Also make sure, that the libssl.so.0.9.7 (with this name) truly exists or that a link goes to it. If it exists, have you checked whether all dependencies for libssl.so can be solved? Under Unix you can do this with: ldd libssl.so.0.9.7 (in the lib folder of this file). regards sue --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
