Thanks for the reply, Rainer. I checked that Redhat comes with openssl v0.9.8e not 1.x. When I compiled Apache, one of the option that I used is "--with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl" which is the one I compiled myself. This time I think I waited long enough so I got some messages from one of two https virtual servers:

Solaris doesn't have OpenSSL 1.0 linbs installed in the default lib directories, so mod_ssl will find your custom build one. RedHat comes with OpenSSL 1.0 installed, so you have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or link statically into mod_ssl in order to let mod_ssl find the right OpenSSL lib. If there is other stuff in your Apache which also has dependencies to OpenSSL, like e.g. something doing ldaps, then things will become quite tricky :( Regards, Rainer --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
