[RHEL 5] Does Red Hat ship mod_ssl package for ppc64 ?

Solution Verified - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 for IBM Power - all releases

Issue

  • Want to install mod_ssl in a IBM Power PC 64 bits but the packages are not available in RHN.

Resolution

  • Red Hat does not provide mod_ssl.ppc64. Red Hat only provides mod_ssl.ppc.

  • If you want to use mod_ssl in ppc64 you need to install httpd package only for ppc32 in order to make compatibility.

  • It is common yum install both http packages: httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_2.4.ppc64 and httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_2.4.ppc. In this way, mod_ssl will not work. To solve the problem, remove http package related to ppc64

    # rpm -e httpd-2.2.3-11.el5_2.4.ppc64
# service httpd start
