Daniel,
Thanks for the response. I am running OpenSSL 0.9.8. I am attempting to secure TLS compression and mitigate the CRIME vulnerability by adding the following directive to the httpd.conf file: Implementation on Apache HTTP Server (mod_ssl) The following configuration block can be used in Apache HTTP Server 2.2+/2.4+ with mod_ssl. However, there is an exception of being able to turn off TLS/SSL Compression as this is only possible Apache HTTP Server 2.2.24/2.4.3+ using the SSLCompression directive.

I am editing the httpd.conf file and adding ‘SSLCompression Off’. When I do that, the Apache service does not start. The system log does not register any meaningful error.
