I am using openssl in a Codeigniter 4 project (php-7.4) running on apache server. The project requires the system to have openssl version v3.2.0. When I check the installed openssl version in the droplet I see v3.0.2. How do I upgrade the version of openssl working on digital ocean droplet.

Heya,
Confirm the version of OpenSSL installed:
openssl version
Update your system to ensure all dependencies are up-to-date:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
That should do it for you. If it doesn’t update it means that’s the newest one for your Distro:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/jammy/+source/openssl
The above states that the latest official openssl version that is supported is 3.0.2.
Heya, @mdhabiburrahmantalukdershamim
- Visit the OpenSSL downloads page to get the latest stable version (3.4.0 at this time).
- Download the tarball:
wget https://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-3.4.0.tar.gz
- Extract the tarball:
tar -xvzf openssl-3.4.0.tar.gz
cd openssl-3.4.0
- Configure and build OpenSSL:
make
sudo make install
- Verify the installation path: The new OpenSSL binary should be installed in
/usr/local/bin. To ensure the new version is used, update the symbolic link:
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/bin/openssl /usr/bin/openssl
- Update the library paths: Add
/usr/local/libto your library path:
echo "/usr/local/lib" | sudo tee -a /etc/ld.so.conf.d/openssl-3.4.0.conf
sudo ldconfig
Check the OpenSSL version again:
openssl version
It should now show OpenSSL 3.4.0
