Why apache need to be compiled with openssl? Does Apache copy files from openssl? I need to update openssl vesion and I want to know if I also need to update the Apache version due to the change of the openssl vesion?
My answer is short, so I thought my comment would be enough. My reputation is too low to add a comment. Anyway, if you are using mod_ssl module which is provided by Apache, then you need to install it or as other commentator said you may use apxs.
If you see mod_ssl.so by ldd mod_ssl in modules direcotry under httpd. You may see something like below. ldd mod_ssl.so
linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00007fff823ff000)
libssl.so.1.0.0 => /PREFIX/openssl/lib/libssl.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fb3b32d4000)
libcrypto.so.1.0.0 => /PREFIX/openssl/lib/libcrypto.so.1.0.0 (0x00007fb3b2e8c000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fb3b2c3e000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fb3b28c7000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fb3b26c2000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fb3b377d000)
Some of libraries are linked to openssl library:libssl, libcrypto. However, you may not recompile your apache if u use third party mod_ssl which is compatible with apache module.
