installing mod_ssl amazon linux

Question

I'm simply trying to install mod_ssl on a CentOS server. Doing a straightforward sudo yum install mod_ssl would return an error:

Error: httpd24-tools conflicts with httpd-tools-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64

Error: httpd24 conflicts with httpd-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64

You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem

You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

I tried to remove httpd-tools by: sudo yum remove httpd-tools-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64 but no luck. Is there any things that I missed?

EDIT:

I did sudo yum -v remove httpd-tools-2.2.25-1.0.amzn1.x86_64 and outputs this:

Doing yum search mod_ssl outputs this:

Answer 1

Try this:

sudo yum install mod24_ssl

If you run into another incompatibility like this in the future, use yum search all. For example:

yum search all mod_ssl

Returns:

mod_ssl.x86_64 : SSL/TLS module for the Apache HTTP Server
mod24_ssl.x86_64 : SSL/TLS module for the Apache HTTP Server
