in this case, the issue was needing to install openssl-devel. That just wasn't in the instructions.
I guess the idea is to do all of the apache installs from source and then just change symlinks as necessary.
To me, all of these version changes are a perfect use case for docker containers but Vince is old school.
The reality is, I need to have a good understanding of all three "install" models if I am going to be replicated customer environments.
Strictly speaking, we are platform agnostic, but since my team only has CentOS developers, most of what we see is CentOS.
The AWS image I am using is one we sell to customers, so yeah, I need to know the ins and outs. We also have Azure images, but as far as I am aware, we don't have a testing space for Azure. I could always bring in one of the CentOS guys if I anticipate the issue is on the Azure side.
