I'm trying to replicate a server configuration for an old system, which uses old apache and php versions, specifically apache 2.2.4, in order to compile this version of apache, I had to install openssl 0.9.7 (to avoid an error while compiling apache), when I try to ./apachectl start I get this error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 54 of /usr/local/apache/php/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /usr/local/apache/php/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: libssl.so.0.9.7: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Line 54

LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so

mod_ssl.so directory:

/usr/local/apache/php/modules

libssl.so.0.9.7 directory:

/usr/local/ssl/lib

I tried:

ln -s /usr/local/apache/php/modules/mod_ssl.so /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7

and

ln -s /usr/local/apache/php/modules /usr/local/ssl/lib

but still getting the same error above.

This is my ldd /usr/local/apache/php/modules/mod_ssl.so output:

linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffcfe550000)
    libssl.so.0.9.7 => not found
    libcrypto.so.0.9.7 => not found
    libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fe22a31d000)
    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fe229f7e000)
    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fe22a765000)

Directory to openssl .so files:

For most applications default directory for this type of files is /usr/lib/, try moving all libraries into it or create a symlink like so:

sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssl/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.7
sudo ln -s /usr/local/ssl/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.7

If only this doesn't work:

sudo vim /etc/ld.so.conf.d/libc.conf

change the path

# libc default configuration

# /usr/local/lib

/usr/lib

and

sudo ldconfig
