Answer 1

Just execute

yum install mod_ssl

to install the module if not present

Answer 2

Can you verify that the file /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ssl.so exists by

ls -l /etc/httpd/modules/mod_ssl.so

and put the result by editing your question.

Plus, if your httpd process is running under the apache user (or other non-root user), verify that the /etc/httpd directory, and all its files and sub-directories, has the proper rights.

Answer 3

Did you read the documentation of your OperatingSystem?

The configuration for mod_ssl is in /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf
