centos6 apache2 Invalid Command SSLEngine

  • 772

Running: CentOS6 x64

When I restart httpd, I get the following error. What am I missing?

[root@localhost ~]# service httpd restart
Stopping httpd:                                            [  OK  ]
Starting httpd: Syntax error on line 22 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/sites.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLEngine', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

I have installed mod_ssl using yum install mod_ssl

Package 1:mod_ssl-2.2.15-15.el6.centos.x86_64 already installed and latest version

My sites.conf looks like this

<VirtualHost *:80>
#    ServerName shop.itmanx.com
    ServerAdmin [email protected]

    DocumentRoot /var/www/html/magento
    <Directory /var/www/html>
        Options -Indexes
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    ErrorLog logs/shop-error.log
    CustomLog logs/shop-access.log
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName secure.itmanx.com

    SSLEngine on won't work unless the ssl module itself is loaded. You should have a line that looks like LoadModule ssl_module modules/mod_ssl.so somewhere.

    In my installation, I have a file called /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf that specifies this LoadModule directive. That file is part of the mod_ssl package that you said you installed. Verify that the file is there, and that your primary httpd.conf file (typically /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.con) has a line that says something like Include conf.d/*.conf in it, so that all .conf files in /etc/httpd/conf.d are also read into the configuration.

    (Oh, installing the openssh package is sort of irrelevant to getting SSL running in Apache)
