Certbot OS X 10.8.5 Apache install openssl error

Please fill out the fields below so we can you better.

My domain is:

expat.dyndns.org

I ran this command:

sudo ./certbot-auto --debug

It produced this output:

while running apachectl configtest.
Syntax error on line 9 of /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf:This version of openssl does not support configuring compression within sections.

My operating system is (include version):

OS X 10.8.5

My web server is (include version):

bash-3.2$ apachectl -V

My hosting provider, if applicable, is:

me

I can login to a root shell on my machine (yes or no, or I don’t know):

yes

I’m using a control panel to manage my site (no, or provide the name and version of the control panel):

no

Other details -

I am using macports, and using the Apple default Apache 2 webserver and have configured it with a self signed certificate before.

Any idea what might be causing the problem with certbot?

Anyway, I worked out how to fix it.

I went into

/etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-apache.conf

and commented out the following line:

SSLCompression off

Then certbot worked as expected.
