sudo service httpd restart gives an error or ssl.conf

Question

I want to restart httpd aws ec2 linux. I write following command in terminal.

  sudo service httpd restart

But it gives me following error.

Starting httpd: AH00526: Syntax error on line 18 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLPassPhraseDialog', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                       [FAILED]




Starting httpd: AH00526: Syntax error on line 23 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLSessionCache', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                       [FAILED]

If i comment the line then it will show below error.

Starting httpd: AH00526: Syntax error on line 24 of /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf:
Invalid command 'SSLSessionCacheTimeout', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration
                                                           [FAILED]

I dont think so that each time i have to comment the lines. Currently, i dont need ssl.conf. So i dont want to call it when i am going to restart httpd. how can i do it?

Thanks

how did you comment out ? Using `#` at the begin of line 24. — Thanh Nguyen Van, Aug 01 '16 at 09:30
The second error log is the same the first error log, have you done comment out `#` before `SSLSessionCacheTimeout` line — Thanh Nguyen Van, Aug 01 '16 at 09:33
would help if you can show /etc/http/httpd.conf - generally if you don't need ssl.conf, rename it ssl.backup — Frederic Henri, Aug 01 '16 at 09:39
I guess mod_ssl is disable,try to enable it : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5257974/how-to-install-mod-ssl-for-apache-httpd — Thanh Nguyen Van, Aug 01 '16 at 09:55
@ThanhNguyenVan:- I dont need mod_ssl and i dont want to install it. — Harish Mahajan, Aug 01 '16 at 10:00
@FrédéricHenri:- it is simple file. there is nothing related to the ssl.conf — Harish Mahajan, Aug 01 '16 at 10:01
Move `ssl.conf` file to other folder, for example : `mv ssl.conf /root/` , then restart httpd again. — Thanh Nguyen Van, Aug 01 '16 at 10:05

When a module that provides certain Directives is not loaded Apache config check will complain about not "knowing" about them as you see in the errors you get.

You don't have mod_ssl loaded and that's why HTTPD giving you those config errors. Either load mod_ssl or make sure no mod_ssl directives are present (uncomment, delete, do not include ssl.conf, the choice is yours).

In my Centos 7 system, installing mod_ssl and python2-certbot-apache packages fixed the issue

sudo yum install epel-release

sudo yum install mod_ssl python2-certbot-apache

Reinstall the httpd and php again. May be your config is broken. I hope it works.
