Hello...

I am trying to install mod_ssl for Apache runing on Windows 2000. Here are the various version of Apache, Mod_SSL, and OpenSSL that I am using:

> Apache_1.3.20
> Mod_SSL_2.8.4
> OpenSSL_0.9.6a

I am getting the following error when I start apache:

> Syntax error on line 205 of f:/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
> Cannot load f:/modules/mod_ssl.so into server:
> (126) The specified module could not be found:

This message seems to be an incorrect since the mod_ssl.so file is located in f:/apache/modules/ directory. Does anybody know what is going on here?

Please Help...

I have the same problem..If somebody can help us...
 
When you used LoadModule in httpd.conf, did you remember to make changes in the AddModule section too?

I'm not sure but I think if your version of Apache doesn't have these installed, you may have to get the source code and recompile it.

Sorry I couldn't be much help but I'm running a Linux box and it is a lot different from Windows.
 
copy from c:\apache\openssl\lib libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into c:\Apache.

Bye
 
Indeed the error message is incorrect as the mod_ssl.so
is found and loaded. I assume the error is coming when
it tries to load the following libraries libeay32.dll
and ssleay32.dll (and doesn't find them?)
I copied both files in C:\WINNT\System32 and it works fine!

I'm sorry. the directory is wrong. The correct directory is c:\apache\openssl\BIN.

copy from c:\apache\openssl\BIN libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll into c:\Apache.

Thanks
 
Simply add the OpenSSL\lib and \bin directories to your search path. This allows the files to be kept in their directories without littering the NT\system32 folder.
