Apache cannot start, unable to load module mod_ssl

I have recently installed a new apache webserver on my red hat linux server. It was working fine on port 2345. I have recently tried to enable https on it and added the required parameters like below, since when apache is not starting. It gives the error,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

httpd: Syntax error on line 43 of /apps/elsdev/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load /apps/elsdev/apache/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: /apps/elsdev/apache/modules/mod_ssl.so: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


LoadModule ssl_module /apps/elsdev/apache/modules/mod_ssl.so

<IfDefine SSL>

  SSLEngine on
  SSLCertificateFile /apps/elsdev/ssl/sabweb-dev-02.cer
  SSLCertificateKeyFile /apps/elsdev/ssl/server.key
  SSLCertificateChainFile /apps/elsdev/ssl/TEST_SSL_CA.cer

</IfDefine>

Versions info::

Apache webserver: httpd-2.2.17
Red Hat Linux         :

$ uname -a

Please let me what I am doing wrong?
