[Solved] Warning: please add "mod_openssl" to server.modules
Added by willems28 about 6 years ago
I have been using lighttpd version 1.4.39 for a while in an Intel/Altera FPGA running on a NIOS2 processor. I upgraded to 1.4.48 and tried 1.4.49 and get the following error when trying to run lighttpd.
Starting lighttpd: 2007-01-01 04:21:51: (configfile.c.60) Warning: please add "mod_openssl" to server.modules list in lighttpd.conf. A future release of lighttpd 1.4.x *will not* automatically load mod_openssl and lighttpd *will not* use SSL/TLS where your lighttpd.conf contains ssl.* directives 2007-01-01 04:21:51: (plugin.c.229) dlopen() failed for: /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_openssl.so /usr/lib/lighttpd/mod_openssl.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 2007-01-01 04:21:51: (server.c.1142) loading plugins finally failed
Here is the lighttpd output
@root@nios2: /usr/sbin $ lighttpd -v lighttpd/1.4.49 (ssl) - a light and fast webserver@
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The answer depends on whether you are actually trying to use https on your website or not.
If you are using plain http, you should remove references to ssl from your config. If you try to use https, you should try to figure out why that file is not present. Did you compile lighttpd yourself or did you get lighttpd packaged from some Linux distro?

@willems28, wnen lighttpd was built for your platform, mod_openssl.so was likely also built, but it seems it was not packaged with what got installed on your system. The build scripts need to be updated to build the new module and package it with lighttpd.

gstrauss, that's what it was. All the .so we old ones that were packaged up. I copied over the .so files and now it's working. Thanks!
