install mod_ssl issue apache 2.4 aws linux

Question

Using aws Linux . When I try to install mod_ssl its give a conflict error with ttpd-tools-2.2.31-1.8.amzn1.x86_64 and httpd-2.2.31-1.8.amzn1.x86_64. Tried yum remove but it's not working. When I do a yum list the old httpd version is not getting listed. Not sure why is it. Could anyone help me out regarding this.

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Answer 1

Basically: sudo yum install mod24_ssl

Not taking credit for this though, see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/21781886

Answer 2

You can use the following command

yum install mod24_ssl.x86_64

It will be installing mod_ssl without any dependency conflicts.

Answer 3

I suspect you have something like cpanel or plesk or directadmin installed, they added a bunch of exclude= lines to /etc/yum.conf, ex:

exclude=apache* httpd* mod_* mysql* MySQL* mariadb* da_* *ftp* exim* sendmail* php* bind-chroot*

and stop various packages from being installed. They do this because they supply their own versions of many central CentOS packages and want to stop the CentOS ones from overwriting them. Once you install a web panel like this, you have changed the way the system operates and you have to go to them to ask how to install things as the normal CentOS ways would end up breaking their other installed packages.

I found this answer on internet

Answer 4

Try to re-install using

yum remove < all listed packages>

yum install mod_ssl
