How to resolve Openssl Package error while installing nginx

Question

I tried to install nginx in a RHEL 7.2 machine, and i got an error,

Error: Package: 1:nginx-1.10.2-2.el7.x86_64 (epel)
       Requires: libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.2)(64bit)
You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Nut this libcrypto.so.10(OPENSSL_1.0.2)(64bit) is not available on default openssl package so i removed the current openssl package and installed using rpm as below,

[root@db-brm ~]# rpm -Uvh http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/os/x86_64/Packages/openssl-libs-1.0.2k-8.el7.x86_64.rpm

I thought it would solve the issue but it did not and it increase the conflict in openssl and giving error while installing nginx,

I could see this is the error,

[root@db-brm ~]# yum install nginx

Can anyone help me to solve this issue?

Solution

Quote from NGINX forums Ref

Unfortunately there is only one solution - get the systems upgraded to 7.4; one should also keep in mind that 7.0-7.3 are not supported by the distributions vendors anymore (including security fixes)

However, you could install NGINX from source see, stack exchange

sudo yum install unzip gcc pcre-devel zlib-devel make golang wget

There could be another issue. Your openssl-libs could be newer that openssl depends. So you could remove openssl-libs, make yum clean all and install nginx.

Thanks a lot... Nginx works on port 8080, but service seems not up.. [root@db-brm nginx-1.9.14]# systemctl status nginx ● nginx.service - The nginx HTTP and reverse proxy server Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2017-12-03 01:14:52 IST; 2min 8s ago Process: 10565 ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Process: 10563 ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 10561 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/rm -f /run/nginx.pid (code=exited, status=0/

What's the output of this? systemctl status nginx.service
