Hi Folks
I wanted to spare you all the agony that i have been going through.
I spent a day struggling with the error Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server. The specified module could not be found - or Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server. operating system error - or Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server. The specified module cannot be loaded --- take your pick of error messages but they all are basically unhelpful and dont really explain what is happening....
If you are installing WAMP Server X64 version 3 in the Windows Server 2012 x64 environment then you need to do the following
1. Install all the VCREdist C++ runtimes from Microsoft first - i installed 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015 both x86 and x64 versions (better to be safe than sorry) then --- Install Wamp Server x64 v3 on the server as normal
2. Get the OpenSSL x64 version 1.02 (NOT ANY OTHERS) light package from the slproweb.com DONT install the 32 bit versions or the 1.1D versions NONE OF THEM WILL WORK --- it must be v1.02 x64
3. Select the default option install the dlls into the BIN directory in Windows when you run the openssl installer
4. Generate your certificate and key as per usual (see this awesome youtube video by Ankit [
www.youtube.com] for all that follows)
5. Make the changes to httpd.conf to uncomment the mod_ssl line and the socache_shmbc lines and include the httpd-ssl file
6. Make changes to the httpd-ssl.conf in the extras folder
(NOTE be careful to change ALL of the references to c:/apache24 in the conf file , you need to change them to c:/wamp --- Ankits video doesnt mention this but it is important otherwise wamp will not start)
8. Restart WAMP and VOILA you will now see that Apache will restart just fine and your SSL settings will be working
I wasted so much time installing all the wrong versions of SSL , and copying DLL files all over the place, none of that stuff will work , PLUS the SSleay32.dll and Libseay32.dll that come with wamp 3 x64 are useless and will not work.
Hope that this helps you guys out.
