Dear Dmitry,
Thank you very much. After moving the above section at the end of the
configuration file and add the dynamic path to the shared library like the
following,
==================
[rsa_section]
engine_id = rsa-engine-new
dynamic_path = /opt/openssl/lib/engines-1.1/rsa-engine-new.so
==================

My engine load without any error. Thanks.
One more question, Do I need to compile and install my engine with Openssl
source code in-order for it to work with mod_ssl?

Regards,
Shariful Alam
