Seems like two problems: First as the error clearly indicates, the DBM file
cannot be opened. This has nothing to do with mod_ssl. And second, the
invalid method looks like you're connecting via HTTPS but HTTPS isn't enabled.
Check your configuration for the SSLEnable directive. It has to be inside the
<VirtualHost> for your HTTPS server.

Ask RedHat ;-) or do it on your own...

No, you can install a fresh Apache+mod_ssl+OpenSSL triple under a different
path and then copy over the cert/key from your original installation.

BTW, isn't there any support from RedHat itself?
