Apache1.3.27 + ModSSL2.8.12 + OpenSSL 0.9.6g + WLS 6.1SP2 doesn't work

Question

Hi,
I intend to use SSL on Apache, and not within the application tier.
I've configured and make'd the above using the following:
In the ModSSL directory:
./configure \
--with-apache=../apache_1.3.27
In the Apache directory:
SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6g \
./configure \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache
I do a httpd -l and confirm the mod_so.c is installed, EAPI and DSO support is
also enabled.
Since WLS is located in another server, I copy the mod_wl_ssl.so file into the
webserver /tmp directory. From there I run the script:
perl /usr/local/bin/apxs -i -a -n weblogic mod_wl_ssl.so
According to the documentation this should add:
AddModule mod_so.c
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl.so
AddModule mod_weblogic.c
to the httpd.conf
What I get is an httpd.conf that only has:
LoadModule weblogic_module libexec/mod_wl.so
So I try it "as is". When I start Apache with "apachectl startssl", the following
appears:
Syntax error on line 205 of /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf:
Cannot load /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_wl_ssl.so into server: ld.so.1: /usr/local/apache/bin/httpd:
fatal: relocation error: file /usr/local/apache/libexec/mod_wl_ssl.so: symbol
ap_make_table: referenced symbol not found
.//apachectl start: httpd could not be started
The mod_wl_ssl.so file is defintely in the libexec directory and has adequate
permissions assigned.
Adding the two other entries that were supposed to be in the httpd.conf in the
first place makes no difference.
Appending the Apache libexec directory to $LD_LIBRARY_PATH doesn't help either.
BTW, configuring Apache with:
SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.6g \
./configure \
--enable-module=ssl \
--enable-module=so \
--enable-rule=SHARED_CORE \
--prefix=/usr/local/apache
And subsequently running:
perl /usr/local/bin/apxs -i -a -n weblogic mod_wl_ssl.so
gives an error message saying DSO is not enabled - strange given that --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE
is a build prerequisite as stated in the documentation.
Would greatly appreciate (grovel) any feedback on how to get this working.
Thanks,
Ivan

Just wondering if you ever figured this out.  Having the exact same issue all of a sudden after it was working for months.  Currently on 10.9.5 but it was working before.  My logs look exactly like yours.
