We're currently using Ubuntu 10.04 and based on the PCI Compliance results, we're told to upgrade our OpenSSL.

I attempted to do this using this reference: http://sandilands.info/sgordon/upgrade-latest-version-openssl-on-ubuntu and http://www.lunarforums.com/dedicated_web_hosting_at_lunarpages/upgrading_openssl-t35015.0.html

Unfortunately, they didn't work for me. And when I attempted to remove the old version prior to installation, it looks like it broke a few thins in the system.

The article from Steve Gordon seemed like it would work for me, but when I ran the openssl version command, it still read that it was the old version.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what I should do.

Fix: After following the steps from Steven Gordon, make sure you restart apache and / or restart your computer (I did both, but I'm sure a simple restart will fix it right up).
