Just to get things clear, openSSL is a library of functions which is used by (among other things) mod_ssl. So mod_ssl needs to know about openSSL but openSSL doesn't care which application is using it. Your installation paths are a bit idiosyncratic, which is OK as long as you have a clear idea about how everything is inter-related. I was a bit confused reading your posting so I'm suspecting apache is too.
Generally, you should proceed as follows (if any of this strikes you as odd, then that might be the problem): - Install openSSL in /path/to/ssl - set SSL_BASE = /path/to/ssl - set LD_RUN_PATH = /usr/lib:/usr/local/lib:/path/to/ssl/lib (this avoids using LD_LIBRARY_PATH) - Unpack apache tar file in (e.g.) /tmp/apache - Unpack mod_ssl tar file in (e.g. /tmp/mod_ssl - in /tmp/mod_ssl, run "./configure --with-apache=/tmp/apache" (this patches apache sources) - in /tmp/apache, run "./configure "--prefix=/path/to/apache \ --enable-module=so \ --enable-shared=ssl \ --enable-module=ssl - make, make install This should leave libssl.so in /path/to/apache/libexec and /path/to/apache/bin/httpd should start without $LD_LIBRARY_PATH being set.
