Topic: Apache 2.2.31 and OpenSSL 1.0.2f to g upgrade

[TThunder6010]

Hello Apache enthusiast! I am currently working with my organization on patching OpenSSL 1.0.2f to OpenSSL 1.0.2g on Windows Server 2008 R2 and I am pretty new to Apache.
The issue is that after i compile OpenSSL for 1.0.2g that the Apache service then stops and cannot be started. Restarting does not resolve. The Windows Application log states:

Log Name: Application
Source: Apache Service
Date: 4/20/2016 4:27:39 PM
Event ID: 3299
Task Category: None
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic
User: N/A
Computer: [Domain Server]
Description:
The Apache service named reported the following error:
>>> httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 128 of E:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load E:/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: The specified module could not be found. .

Line 128 in the httpd.conf references the mod_ssl.so which is still in the same directory it has been in and hasn't changed. Is there something wrong in the compiling process? (I have already redownloaded the OpenSSL 1.0.2g x86 patch twice and compiled using Visual Studio 2008 express). The patch for us is replacing the libeay32.dll, openssl.exe, and ssleay32.dll in the Apache folder to apply the patch.

The compiling commands are as follows:
perl Configure VC-WIN32 no-asm --prefix=C:\[Opensslxxx]
ms\do_ms
nmake –f ms\ntdll.mak
nmake –f ms\ntdll.mak test
nmake –f ms\ntdll.mak install

I am losing sleep over this! THANKS

Normally from what I have seen suggested often what you have done should work ok, but 1.0.2g has created problems for some.

If you compiled Apache yourself do it over again (or at least rebuild mod_ssl) with OpenSSL 1.0.2g.

If you did not compile Apache yourself, see if you can get an updated one with 1.0.2g from where you got the Apache.
