WampServer

Hello! I upgraded to Wampserver 3.0.0 (not released yet?) to try out PHP 7.0.0. The defaults worked fine, but enabling mod_ssl for Apache 2.4.17 did not work. The Event log spit out: httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 172 of D:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.4.17/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server:

There are no other readable errors as to what actually went wrong... How can I debug this?
These are the only lines regarding Apache not starting:
[Tue Dec 08 08:51:46.003559 2015] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 960:tid 576] AH00422: Parent: Received shutdown signal -- Shutting down the server.
[Tue Dec 08 08:51:48.004783 2015] [mpm_winnt:notice] [pid 9568:tid 496] AH00364: Child: All worker threads have exited.

I ended up copying over my existing (backuped up) working Apache 2.4.9 directory over to the new Wampserver 3.0.0 installation and luckily SSL still worked there. So I'm up and running again, but wouldn't mind having Apache 2.4.17 working with SSL. As it works with 2.4.9, what can be different with 2.4.17?

Hi Swedie,

Yes I see, I could not get mod_ssl to load either.

I tried all sorts of things and eventually I installed the latest versions of libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll as follows

Download Win32 OpenSSL v1.0.2e Light from here

Install it somewhere like c:\stuff

Copy the libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll from `bin` folder to `\wamp\bin\php\php5.6.15`

Then uncomment the `mod_ssl` and the include of the `Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf` in `httpd.conf`

Then restart WAMPserver.



I would not call this a fix, as I dont actually know what was wrong with the original libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll but it does get SSL working.
