I followed the instructions in https://cloudwafer.com/blog/installing-openssl-on-ubuntu-16-04-18-04/ but i get always an older openssl version when i run openssl version. In my case the 1.1.1e. It compiles and installs well but it seems that Ubuntu keeps using a previous installed version. How to fix this? Thank you.

The problem only occurs in one server which had the 1.1.1.e installed:

openssl version -a

  • How did you determine that "Ubuntu keeps using a previous installed version"?

  • Go back through the tutorial, and this time do the steps you skipped the first time.

  • I did not skipped steps. In other servers the problem did not occur.

I discovered the solution:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/local/ssl/lib"

Now the crontab can run the openssl correctly.
