I have a server running nginx (compiled form source) The server have been runnig juist foen for a long while. Today, I dud a sudo update && sudo dist-upgrade + a reeboot. after reebot, nginx will nor start. The failure message is: /usr/sbin/nginx: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I does a openssl version -a Output: OpenSSL 1.1.0h 27 Mar 2018 built on: reproducible build, date unspecified platform: debian-amd64 options: bn(64,64) rc4(16x,int) des(int) blowfish(ptr) compiler: gcc -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DNDEBUG -DOPENSSL_THREADS -DOPENSSL_NO_STATIC_ENGINE -DOPENSSL_PIC -DOPENSSL_IA32_SSE2 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_MONT5 -DOPENSSL_BN_ASM_GF2m -DSHA1_ASM -DSHA256_ASM -DSHA512_ASM -DRC4_ASM -DMD5_ASM -DAES_ASM -DVPAES_ASM -DBSAES_ASM -DGHASH_ASM -DECP_NISTZ256_ASM -DPADLOCK_ASM -DPOLY1305_ASM -DOPENSSLDIR="\"/usr/lib/ssl\"" -DENGINESDIR="\"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/engines-1.1\"" OPENSSLDIR: "/usr/lib/ssl" ENGINESDIR: "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/engines-1.1" root@server:~# systemctl status nginx.service ● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: en Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since ma. 2018-05-28 19:07:43 CEST; 10min Process: 4974 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t -q -g daemon on; master_process It seems, after the upgrade, the system is now OpenSSL 1.1.0h and not libssl.so.1.0.2 as the error code indicates that nginx is looking for. Any help to solve this would be very welcome ASAP
Ok, but whei I want to get the compiler args and run nginx -V , nginx only returns the same error "nginx: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.1.0.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" How to find correct compile args ?
Ok, I found a note of compile args from initial "from source" compile & install and now everything is back online - Puhhh" happy now
If you compile openssl, you can make use of openssl version 1.1.1 prev 7 that has better support for TLS1.3.
