[users@httpd] Installing SSL with apche 2.0.43

[Richard Johnstone <Ri...@appleyard-contracts.co.uk>]

Hi

I am trying to build a new server with the latest version of apache.
I have built my previous server with 1.3.27.
I can build the new server fine but I can't seem to get SSL built into
it.

Does the new version have MODSSL built in?

When I did my configure i did

./configure \
--with-ssl=../opensslxxx \
--prefix=../myapache

Normally I would do this from my modssl directory but it wouldn't let
me as it was looking for a 1.3 version of apache. Hence I thought it was
built in to the new version

I am confused.

Any help greatly appreciated or even a RTFM!! with a link to the bit
which explains this would help

YEs, mod_ssl is built-in now:

I compiled Apache 2.0.43 with SSL support successfully on Solaris and 
HP-UX with:
$ ./configure --enable-module=most \
               --enable-mods-shared=most \
               --enable-ssl \
               --with-ssl=<openssldir> \
               [other options]


The configure script should actually tell you if OpenSSL was correctly 
detected, and mod_ssl activated.
If not, you should look inside the config.log file where there are hints 
why OpenSSL couldn't be found or compiled.

Note that another difference is that there is no script to generate 
selef-signed certificate, but you can copy the ssl.* directories from 
Apache 1.3 in Apache 2 conf/ directly, or make a certificate by hand.

HTH,
