Switching mod_ssl to mod_gnutls on Plesk 12/Ubuntu 10.04

[William Hudson]

I have the problem that Ubuntu 10.04 does not natively support openssl higher than version 0.9.8k and I need to enable SHA-256 authentication for interaction with PayPal from the end of this month. I have looked at articles about upgrading mod_ssl to mod_gnutls for apache2 but these are of little help in the Plesk environment.

Is mod_gnutls a realistic solution in this scenario? If so, how would I do it in Plesk with nginx also enabled?

Thanks in advance!

Hi William Hudson,

you could consider to install the latest open-ssl version from source and compile it yourself, using the existent paths.

http://openssl.org/source/​

A second approach would be to upgrade to 12.04 LTS, as support for server versions of 10.04 LTS ended at 30.04.2015 anyway.
