Here is the output of command ldd /lib64/libcrypto.so.10

linux-vdso.so.1 => (0x00002aaaaaaab000) libdl.so.2 => /lib64/libdl.so.2 (0x00002aaaaaea8000) libz.so.1 => /lib64/libz.so.1 (0x00002aaaab0ac000) libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00002aaaab2c3000) /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x0000555555554000) Output of command openssl version -a

openssl: /lib64/libcrypto.so.10: version `OPENSSL_1.0.2' not found (required by openssl) Here is the output of which openssl /usr/bin/openssl Output of env | grep LD_ is empty.

Okay I am getting forward, with this command yum reinstall openssl openssl-libs That error is gone. Now there is small issue I think. The output of php -v is PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library '/usr/lib64/php/modules/zip.so' - libzip.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory in Unknown on line 0 PHP 5.4.16 (cli) (built: Mar 7 2018 13:34:47) Copyright (c) 1997-2013 The PHP Group Zend Engine v2.4.0, Copyright (c) 1998-2013 Zend Technologies

How to get the correct version of php and openssl to get rid of the error?

Answer 1

To make it work on Centos 7

yum install -y php php-common

yum reinstall -y openssl openssl-libs

systemctl restart httpd

Answer 2

To fix your issues, these command should help:

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm -y
yum reinstall openssl openssl-libs -y
yum reinstall libzip -y

yum install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm
yum-config-manager --enable remi-php54
yum install php php-common php-pecl-zip -y

But clients with openssl version less than 1.1.0 will not allow letsencrypt certificates since yesterday. best practice for centos 7 it's install latest version of openssl from source because it is not exist at any yum repositories as package you can make it with this this script:

yum install https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/epel-release-latest-7.noarch.rpm -y
yum groupinstall -y "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"

cd /usr/src
wget --no-check-certificate https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-1.1.1l.tar.gz
tar -zxf openssl-1.1.1l.tar.gz
cd openssl-1.1.1l
./config
make
make install
mv /usr/local/lib64/libcrypto.so.1.1 /usr/local/lib64/libssl.so.1.1 /usr/lib64/
yum install php php-common -y
yum install ca-certificates -y 
systemctl restart httpd

Also i would recommend you install at least 7+version of php instead very deprecated 5.4 You can do that so:

yum install https://rpms.remirepo.net/enterprise/remi-release-7.rpm -y
yum-config-manager --disable 'remi-php*'
yum-config-manager --enable   remi-php74
yum install php php-common -y # and others packages you need
