I have been having serious difficulties with getting openssl 0.9.6b to even build on RedHat 6.2. So much so that I'm considering moving to 7.1. Just last week RedHat posted an updated version of openssl on their site. To quote them: "Updated openssl packages are now available for Red Hat Linux 6.x and 7. These packages include security-related changes made in OpenSSL 0.9.6a and 0.9.6b which have been backported to previous versions released for Red Hat Linux." Interestingly, the packages are still number 0.9.6 and "openssl version" gives you 0.9.6 as the version. I'm looking to move over to RedHat 7.1. Where I can I build RPMs as I have several machines to administer. The latest apache-mod_ssl on their "rawhide" site builds and runs on RedHat 7.1 (apache-1.3.20-5.src.rpm). It probably depends on glibc 2.2, rather than the 2.1 version that comes with 6.2. In the meantime Apache 1.3.20-2.8.4 does work and build with openssl-0.9.6. Henri Gomez has source and i386 RPMs at http://www.falsehope.com/ftp-site/home/gomez/apache-mod_ssl/. It does seriously look like openssl 0.9.6a or b doesn't like RedHat6.2. Incidentally, you need to upgrade your kernel to at least 2.2.16-3. (The latest is 2.2.19-6.2.7). There are very serious kernel bugs in 2.2.14. (We've been running the 2.2.16-3 kernel for hundreds of days now). - John Airey Internet Systems Support Officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute for the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] >-----Original Message----- >From: Phil Ellett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >Sent: 25 July 2001 02:19 >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Apache 1.3.20/ModSSL2.8.4/OpenSSL0.9.6b builds but core dumps. >Importance: High > > >I am about to give up building Apache 1.3.20/ModSSL2.8.4/OpenSSL0.9.6b. > >I have built various builds of Apache over the last few years >but seem to be >having no success at all at the moment. > >Server is running Linux Redhat 6.2 (2.2.14). > >OpenSSL 0.9.6b is installed in the default location of >/usr/local/ssl built >with "./config shared" > >Build procedure is as below .... > ># apply mod_ssl to Apache source tree >cd mod_ssl-2.8.4-1.3.20 >./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 \ > --with-ssl=/sysdev/ServDev/current/openssl-0.9.6b \ > --verbose >cd .. > ># pre-configure Apache for PHP4's configure step >cd apache_1.3.20 >./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache5 >cd .. > ># configure PHP4 and apply it to the Apache source tree >cd php-4.0.6 >CFLAGS='-O2 -I/sysdev/ServDev/current/openssl-0.9.6b/include' >./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.20 --with-mysql >--with-imap --withou >t-gd --with-curl=/sysdev/ServDev/curl-7.8 --with-mcrypt >--enable-memory-limi >t=yes --enable-debug=no >gmake >gmake install >cd .. > ># build/install Apache with mod_ssl and PHP4 >cd apache_1.3.20 >SSL_BASE=/usr/local/ssl >./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache5 --enable-module=ssl >--activate-modul >e=src/modules/php4/libphp4.a --enable-module=php4 >--enable-module=rewrite > >make > > >This same format of script has worked dozens of times without >problems but >now fails with the latest versions.
