I am trying to convert my PHP application from http tp https. I got all the SSL certificates loaded in my server. But when restarting apache server I found the error as :

"Cannot load G:/APPS/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: The specified module could not be found".

I checked the modules folder and it seems there is no such module exists in my Apache installation. How do I download/install this module? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, Shilpa

  • Greetings, please specify: 1) which system you are running this on (Windows / Linux / other) and the version and flavor (ex. which linux). 2) did you compile it yourself or is this a precompiled version you installed / downloaded? The answer will differ greatly based on these details. – Nic3500 Aug 30 '18 at 20:52
  • Hi Nic3500, I am working on windows server 2012 OS. The apache which i downloaded and installed is Apache 2.2 which is a precompiled version. – Shilpa Aug 31 '18 at 12:14
  • Since it is precompiled, it expects the module to be there. So the package you downloaded is incomplete or was not compiled with ssl support. I suggest 1) use Apache 2.4, drop 2.2. 2) try to find a forum or help page for the specific precompiled package you use. 3) or download another one (ex. one that has SSL enabled, or WAMP maybe?) – Nic3500 Aug 31 '18 at 12:17
  • Hi Nic3500, thankyou for the suggestions. I have tried by adding the ssl module from same version of apache installation of my local machine. Then i restarted the server and it worked for me. May be it is not the correct solution but this workaround was useful for me. Thanks, Shilpa – Shilpa Sep 04 '18 at 18:03
