PHP Problems
 

I installed PHP and now when I try to run it it tells me it could not find a required library: libssl.so.1

I did a search in google and it turns out I need to install openssl.

However, I already have openssl (openssl-0.9.6b-8) installed. However, this version provides libcrypto.so.2.....what do I do downgrade openssl inorder to get libcrytpo.so.1???

found this while doing a search...

> libcrypto.so.0,libssl.so.0 is provided by openssl095
> libcrypto.so.1,libsso.so.1 is provided by openssl096
> libcrypto.so.2,libssl.so.2 is provided by openssl-0.9.6b


How can I install all 3 openssl versions together...if I do RedHat complains...telling me I am going to overwrite the previous package...Please help.

Where do you have libssl installed to? (the path?) It may be that the package is looking in the wrong place for it.

try

find /usr -name libssl*

which should point out if you have it and where. You may need to create a symlink to where php expects it.

How do I create a symbolic link...does it matter that I have libssl.so.2, but PHP want libssl.so.1....Are they the same???

cd to where the libssl.so.2 is located.
ln -s libssl.so.2 libssl.so.1
