    Install the latest version of openssl into /opt, and rebuild apache.

    Same issue we had, downgraded to apache 1.3 which solved it.
    Then we installed latest openssl http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz in /opt/openssl and rebuilt with apache2.2 php5.2.3 and php4.4.7 and it works well.

    make sure you configure openssl to be installed in /opt/openssl

    We didn't do anything other than that I'm afraid..

    I can't seem to find the info for this...

    Where do you rebuild apache if you can't use /scripts/easyapache due to the openSSL issue?

    I've aready built openssl in the /opt/openssl folder.

    No no, you do use easyapache. If you have openssl installed in /opt/openssl - it uses that version instead of the system version.

    I don't understand what the issue is then because mine is still giving me the error when I use easyapache, does the /opt/openssl folder need special permissions?

    I dont know.

    1. Open a ticket.
    2. You could try the download the yaml file i supplied here. Remove the .txt extension of it (had to add it to post it on boards) and upload it you your /var/cpanel/easy/apache/profile/custom/ and then open up easyapache again. It is for php4 / php5 and the modules Ive chosen work with the builds.

    I already made one myself, much like yours. SSL just won't work with easyapache for me for whatever reason...

    Of course now httpd is needing to be restarted every chkservd check it seems.

    IDK, it may have something to do with getting rid of the dummy from RPM and running yum update for using glibc-common since that was my original issue when trying to run easyapache on my VPS cent 4.5 Ent.

    No idea, will probably have to check into it tomorrow some more.

    I'm not having any seg fault problems but I cant run easyapache because every time I try, this error pops up about possibly having an openssl bug and it wont let me continue.

    This page http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/ea3_open_ssl_bug.html

    Says one of the options is...

    Great - so cpanel patches it automatically. I guess it already did mine the last time I built it.

    I now want to recompile because of a different issue and I cant because it wont let me use easyapache.

    That's odd. YOu are blocked from using EA3 via both /scripts/easyapache and WHM >> Software >> Apache Update? Would you mind sending me a screen shot of the entire page/screen along with your exact cPanel version (PM me if you need my email address).

    Hi Kenneth,

    I've not tried the command line version - just WHM. Using 11.15.0-R17853

    Heres what happens...

    1. I click the apache update link
    2. A browser dialog box pops up saying "Internet explorer cannot open the internet site https://ip.ip.ip.ip:2087. Operation aborted.
    3. I click OK
    4. I see the cpanel info message in a white box with a blue header with the openssl bug notice in it and also the following page opens in a new window http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/ea3_open_ssl_bug.html

    I've also installed the latest version of openssl into /opt/openssl and tried again but i'm guessing EA3 isnt checking for that when I try and use it.

    Are you saying the command line version will probably work ok ?

    If 2.x exhibits this bug (even with the patch we do to avoid part of it, see "Patch Apache 2.x" at the URL below)
    and /opt/openssl does not help (see "What Problems May Arise From Having A Different OpenSSL In /opt/openssl?" at the URL below), then your 2 options are:

    a) use apache 1.3
    b) update your OS to one that is not buggy

    Details are outlined here:
    http://www.cpanel.net/support/docs/ea/ea3/ea3_open_ssl_bug.html

    Don't guess, look in the output, does it mention /opt/openssl anywhere? there is only one method used to determine the openssl prefix and if /opt/openssl is there it uses that.

    That or a browser besides IE.

    Can you send a screen shot of the error IE is giving? Are you sure its a 'could not open xxxx:2087/' error or is it an error about a popup for the open ssl bug documentation being blocked?

    The command line will work. Thanks to your message, we traced this problem to some interaction with Internet Explorer, which we are currently addressing. Thank you.

    The IE issue has been narrowed down to a Yahoo Library issue. If your cpanel is up to date (IE no 'you need to update' warning layover) and your server passes the openssl check (IE no 'openssl bug' warning in layover), you'll be able to use it no problem.

    I am ahveing the same IE issue

    I am having the same IE issue in WHM.

    This issue strated just two to three days ago I believe. When I click the "Apaceh update" link from WHM, it prevents me from accessing the Apache update page. Basically, I get an error that pops up saying "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site "https://server.address.com:2087/." Operation aborted". Note that the error pop up has a dot after the slash.

    When I cilick OK, I get an "Internet Explorer cannot display the page" after briefly visualing" WHM's own pop up telling me about an openSSL issue. I do also get an additional separate new window with the information on Apache/OpenSSL window.

    This server has less than 20 sites on it, and perhaps some 100 or so parked domains.

    I have verified this issue on two different machines (one with Windows XP Pro and another with Visa Home Premium. Also, I have verified this in both Internet Explorer 7.0.6 and Internet Explorer 6.0.2. One machine (vista) has IE7 and the other one (XP) has IE6. The error is the same in both computers. Yet, the day before, that is, Nov. 5, there was no such error and I could access the Apache update link without a problem.

    So, now, I cannot really access the Apache update page because of this strange error that keeps coming back even after I restart the computer, refresh IE, etc.. And this means I cannot go in there to change my Apache profile.

    This issue does not seem to exist in Firefox.

    I just did this...

    wget http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz

    tar -zxvf openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz

    cd openssl-0.9.8g/

    ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/opt/openssl

    make

    make install

    Then used FIREFOX to run easyapache3 from WHM and rebuild apache.

    If you click the update apache" link and look at the openssl notice - it now says at the bottom

    "Currently /opt/openssl will be used as the openssl prefix"

    Edit.... It works fine. Helps if I check the right log :s

    That should actually be:

    Code:
    ./config --prefix=/opt/openssl --openssldir=/opt/openssl shared
