I am upgrading to Fedora 12 on a Amazon EC2 using help here: http://www.ioncannon.net/system-administration/894/fedora-12-bootable-root-ebs-on-ec2/

I managed to do a 64 bit instance OK, however facing some problems with a standard one.

On the final bit of the install from 11 to 12 I am getting an error:

 Error: Missing Dependency: libcrypto.so.8 is needed by package httpd-tools-2.2.1.5-1.fc11.1.i586 (installed)
 Error: Missing Dependency: libssl.so.8 is needed by package httpd-tools-2.2.1.5-1.fc11.1.i586 (installed)

This is referenced in the comments from the link above but all it says is:

Q: Apache failed, or libssl.so.* & libcrypto.so.* are missing

A: These versions are mssing the symlinks they require. Easy fix, go symlink them to the newest versions in /lib

However I am afraid I don't know how to do this. If it is any help I tried running the command locate libssl.so and got:

 /lib/libssl.so.0.9.8b
 /lib/libssl.so.6
