Hi gang - what a GREAT resource!

I've been lurking here for some time now, but this is actually my first post... WOOHOO! :D

I tried searching the forums, but am coming up blank with this issue. I've been trying to install the Net::SSLeay module on our new RaQ4i, but am having zero luck. I've tried installing it manaully in an SSH session as well as through WebMin - all failed. The problem is that I keep getting the error "cannot find openSSL". I've tried entering "/usr" and everything else people have posted previously that will supposedly get it installed, but nothing is working for me.

Does ANYONE successfully have this module installed on their RaQ4i? If so, I'd love a detailed description of exactly what you did to get it installed.

I'm tempted to just install a new copy of OpenSSL where it's supposed to be, but am not sure what complications that might have on the Cobalt machine/software. The Cobalt tells me OpenSSL is located at "/usr/sbin/openssl".

Any help would be much appreciated. We need this installed so that our cgi scripts can integrate with real-time credit card gateways such as authorize.net, etc. Thanks!

Sincerely,
Chris Skidmore

Anyone??? :(

Hello,

I don't know if it's too late. I just wanna say that I had no problems installing it on Raq 3. First I installed OpenSSL 0.9.6 and then Net::SSLeay 1.07 with default options and everything worked. Maybe you should try to install OpenSSL 0.9.6 or the newest version first?

Thanks Timtec,

Actually, I never did do anything with the module because up until now, no one even answered my post -- you are the first and I thank you. :-)

Did installing the newest OpenSSL cause any other problems with your Cobalt software or the generation of new SSL certificates using the Cobalt control panel? This was my main concern with installing a second copy of OpenSSL.

Thanks again!

Sincerely,
Chris Skidmore

Chris, I did not generate any certificates after installing the new OpenSSL. I don't think the newer module should create a problem. I also just noticed that the old openssl was not overwritten by the new one. When I do "locate openssl" it gives me at least 3 locations with openssl.

OpenSSL 9.3 is in /usr/sbin/
Openssl 9.2 is in /usr/bin/

and the new openssl 9.6(the one I installed) is in /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl

I read some docs and it looks like the standard dir for opensssl 9.3 was /usr/bin or something, but the version 9.6 installs in /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl

This is where Net::SSLeay 1.07 is looking for openssl I guess. Maybe this is the problem? I think you could specify directory with openssl when installing Net::SSLeay 1.07, but I just installed the new openSSL, and it works.

good luck
