Thanks Rainer, I put the statement "SSLFIPS on" in the global context section of httpd-ssl.conf file. When I started apache, I got a message in error_log:

In order for the message to be written, your build needs support for the directive. This is included in 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 by default, but could be disabled if during the build HAVE_FIPS is not defined. This define in turn is set if the OpenSSl detected during configure is of version >= 0.9.8a and has FIPS support built in. I would first check for differences between your builds of 2.4.2 and 2.4.3 by adding SSLFips Off to the config. If FIPS support is not compiled into Apache, then it will fail to start and complain about an unknown directive SSLFips. If adding the directive works for both, try setting it to On in both cases and check the startup messages for FIPS mode messages.
