Fedora 8: ssh setup produces httpd error

[tx836519]

When I try to create ssh keys on Fedora 8, the httpd service will stop and fail to restart. I had this problem on another machine also running Fedora 8 and finally got it going by reinstalling httpd several times before it accepted the entry and now works fine. The errors on the current machine is:

[ken@smbsrvr2 ~]$ su -
Password:
[root@smbsrvr2 ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 320 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/system-config-httpd.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

[root@smbsrvr2 ~]#

I need to find out why this is happening and I am open to all input. -- ken

Your answer and solution is right there.

You need to install mod_ssl.

Thanks a million, Pete_1967. Installed mod_ssl and it did as one would expect! -- ken

Try editing the syntax mistake on line 334 of /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf


or post

cat /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

I am assuming you are posting here because of similarity of your problem to the symptoms I described.

When downloading the required packages, I failed to enter one (mod_ssl). I was working on several machines and got it right on the others and had no problem. Once I corrected this lapse in my attention to detail, all worked as it should. -- ken
