I've been given a RHEL7 server with Apache 2.4.6 and OpenSSL and I would like to install mod_ssl. The issue is yum doesn't find the package:

yum install mod_ssl

No package mod_ssl available.
Error: Nothing to do

Also it is not found during a search, only mod_gnutls is found:

yum search mod_ssl

=================================================== Matched: mod_ssl ===================================================
mod_gnutls.x86_64 : GnuTLS module for the Apache HTTP server

How can I install mod_ssl? Do I need to find an rpm or install a repo to have yum find it?

Here's the output of listing httpd and openssl to show the versions:

yum list httpd openssl

Installed Packages
httpd.x86_64                   2.4.6-67             @rhel-7-server-rpms
openssl.x86_64                 1:1.0.2k-8.el7       @rhel-7-server-rpms

Here's my repolist:

yum repolist

repo id                                           repo name                                                       status

There is no base repository (rhel-7-server-rpms) in the output of your yum repolist

I've verified that mod_ssl is found on base RHEL7 repository.

Use subscription-manager to re-enable that repo.

  • Ok how can I re-enable the repo? I'm not familiar with subscription-manager.

  • Subscription manager is well documented by Red Hat, because every customer uses it. Try access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/…

  • I did subscription-manager repos --enable=rhel-7-server-rpms and it said Error: 'rhel-7-server-rpms' does not match a valid repository ID.. Then I did subscription-manager repos --list and got This system has no repositories available through subscriptions. Can you help?

  • Isn't it your answer right here: This system has no repositories available through subscriptions. These subscriptions are paid. You know you need to pay Red Hat, right? If you pay, they'll happily tell you all about getting yum to work, step by step. Or dig around that documentation. Or contact RHEL support.

  • So there is no way to get mod_ssl without contacting RedHat? I actually asked for a CentOS server but was given this to install my web app (requires ssl) then I won't have any further access. I don't have any access to pay RedHat.
