installed apache with swaret. mod_ssl won't work

Hi all,

I installed apache using swaret for a change (rather than building from source) - I loaded the default page and Hey - it worked.. a fresh SSL/TLS enabled webserver ready and waiting.

I then built my httpd.conf and used an Include directive to pull in a mod_ssl.conf, however whenever I try to start with apachectl startssl, this is what happens:

Code:

root@feodor:/usr/local# apachectl startssl
[Sun Jul 25 19:43:34 2004] [warn] module php4_module is already loaded, skipping
Syntax error on line 14 of /etc/apache/mod_ssl.conf:
Cannot load /usr/libexec/libssl.so into server: /usr/libexec/libssl.so: undefined symbol: dbm_firstkey
/usr/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

The start of the mod_ssl.conf looks ike this:

Code:

LoadModule ssl_module libexec/libssl.so
AddModule mod_ssl.c

What could be going wrong?

If i don't remember wrong one of latest apached upgrades moved all the libraries to /usr/libexec/apache instead of /usr/libexec

thanks gbonvehi - that seems to have fixed it. I just deleted the libssl.so file that was there (or rather moved it out of the way) and symlinked in the /usr/libexec/apache/libssl.so

seems to work

*shrug*

thanks
