Can you give more details of the crypto driver you're trying to use?

Using the error code "AH01845", a quick search of the source shows up this:

        rv = apr_crypto_get_driver(&driver, conf->library, conf->params, &err, 
p);
        ...
        if (APR_SUCCESS != rv && err) {
            ap_log_error(APLOG_MARK, APLOG_ERR, rv, s, APLOGNO(01845)
                    "%s", err->msg);
            return rv;
        }

It looks like the error code returned by apr_crypto_get_driver() is not 
recognised as an APR error, and the error message being printed is the string 
"(null)".

This comes from here:

            apr_dso_error(dso, buffer, ERROR_SIZE - 1);
            err->msg = buffer;
            err->reason = modname;

What this means is that an attempt to load a DSO is failing, with an unknown 
APR error code and an error message of "(null)".

The assumption that the underlying driver will always return a sensible error 
message seems to be bogus, this won't help with the message, but will in theory 
give a hint to the driver involved:

-                    "%s", err->msg);
+                    "The crypto library '%s' could not be loaded: %s (%s)", 
conf->library, err->msg, err->reason);
             return rv;
         }
         if (APR_ENOTIMPL == rv) {

Can you confirm?
