Apache Friends Support Forum

Hello!
There is some problems with starting apache
I'm running linux mint 18, and xampp v.7.0.9
When i trying to start apache i got error:

httpd: Syntax error on line 136 of /opt/lampp/etc/httpd.conf: Cannot load modules/mod_ssl.so into server: /opt/lampp/modules/mod_ssl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

for test i commented # the line 136
after that apache started, but how can i fix it without commenting line 136,
or is it ok to leave this line commented?

I got this too, it seems that somehow they forgot to include the SSL module for apache in the new version or is something changed in how apache works?

I have the same problem on Xubuntu 16.04 (64-bit) ...

-> 136: https://gist.github.com/w3lifer/14099f81bc3fde9b9e8b9d841ad41c8e#file-httpd-conf-L136

I dont want to override my Xampp installation, therefore i cannot test it, but i think if there are already three reports, that Bitnami might have overlooked that module in their installation package. I think the quickest way for a fix will require an email to Bitnami, as they watch this forum only from time to time.

As long as you dont need SSL, comment out the correspondig line from httpd.conf to bypass that problem.

hello, i have the same error, i uninsttal and reinstall dont work, i comment the line 136 dont work the server , thnks for the help
