Ubuntu – Compile apache 2.2.23 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS with openssl error

apache-2.2opensslUbuntu

I have (or am) moved from OpenSuse 12.1 to Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS — I have had no problems compiling apache from source on our OpenSUSE boxes.. However, I have run into a problem with Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.

I have installed openssl, libssl-dev and when I attempt to compile apache, I receive the following:

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit base… /usr

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit version… OpenSSL 1.0.1 14 Mar 2012

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit includes… /usr/include

checking for SSL/TLS toolkit libraries… configure: error: OpenSSL libraries not found

I have attempted to use –with-ssl=/usr/include/openssl but that did not work either.

Do I need to compile SSL from source as well (I did not need to do this on our SUSE boxes).

Thank You.

Note : I am required to compile Apache for various business reasons, using apt-get apache2 is not an option for me.

Edit : I have libssl.so.1.0.0 in /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu and configure option –libdir=/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Compile openssl, then compile and link Apache against --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl (the default path). Don't forget "--enable-so"

I had many issue with the maintainer libs from debian distros and always compile openssl from scratch.

If you are using PHP and use --with-openssl=/usr/local/ssl, the same libraries have to be used.

Compiling Apache mod_ssl for different target hardware (hardware capability unsupported SSE2 error)

Here are the steps that I have done to successfully build and install the Apache httpd-2.4.10 and OpenSSL openssl-1.0.1j on Solaris 10.

Download following software
openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz
httpd-2.4.10.tar.gz
apr-1.5.1.tar.gz
apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz
pcre-8.36.tar.gz
Verify Make and CC
By default gcc is at /usr/sfw/bin/gcc and make is at /usr/ccs/bin/make

Include following in the PATH
usr/local/ssl/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/ccs/bin

Include following in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/ssl/lib
Build and install openssl-1.0.1j
Unzip and un-tar openssl-1.0.1j.tar.gz to /usr/local/openssl-1.0.1j
Execute following commands in order. The shared parameter is very important so that it can be linked with httpd-2.4.10 build for SSL enabling.
```
$ cd /usr/local/openssl-1.0.1j
$ ./config shared
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
```
By default it installs openssl at /usr/local/ssl
Install pcre-8.36 Unzip and un-tar pcre-8.36.tar.gz to /usr/local/ pcre-8.36

Execute following commands in order
```
$ cd /usr/local/ pcre-8.36
$ ./configure 
$ make
$ make install
```
By default, make install installs the package's commands under /usr/local/bin, include files under /usr/local/include, etc.
Build and install httpd-2.4.10

Unzip and un-tar httpd-2.4.10.tar.gz to /usr/local/httpd-2.4.10

Unzip and un-tar apr-1.5.1.tar.gz to /usr/local/httpd-2.4.10/srclib
Rename /usr/local/apr-1.5.1 to /usr/local/apr

Unzip and un-tar apr-util-1.5.4.tar.gz to /usr/local/httpd-2.4.10/srclib
Rename /usr/local/apr-util to /usr/local/apr-util

Execute following commands in order
```
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --with-included-apr --enable-so –enable-ssl=shared --with-ssl=/usr/local/ssl
$ make
$ make install
```
It installs it at /usr/local/apache2

The installation is complete. To enable SSL and Proxy, update /usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf with uncommentting following lines

LoadModule socache_shmcb_module modules/mod_socache_shmcb.so

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_connect_module modules/mod_proxy_connect.so
LoadModule proxy_ftp_module modules/mod_proxy_ftp.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule proxy_fcgi_module modules/mod_proxy_fcgi.so
LoadModule proxy_scgi_module modules/mod_proxy_scgi.so
LoadModule proxy_wstunnel_module modules/mod_proxy_wstunnel.so
LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so
LoadModule proxy_balancer_module modules/mod_proxy_balancer.so
LoadModule proxy_express_module modules/mod_proxy_express.so

LoadModule slotmem_shm_module modules/mod_slotmem_shm.so
LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

Now you can work on httpd-ssl.conf as you usually do to complete your configuration

How to get httrack to work with SSL on mac os x? (libssl.so not found)

You could attempt the following:

DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/local/lib" httrack

Or perhaps:

DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES="/opt/local/lib/libssl.1.0.0.dylib" httrack

If that doesn't work, please provide the error output from httrack. Did you build it from source, or download a binary?
