[users@httpd] Updating mod_ssl -- need to recompile Apache et al?

Hi,

I need to update Apache's SSL to the latest version (1.0.0d). Is it necessary to recompile all of Apache, or can I simply rebuild mod_ssl? (Reason is that I'm using OS X Server 10.6.7 and want to continue to enjoy the benefits of Apple's magical Server Admin and other web-related services, such as WIKI.)

If so, can anyone recommend a good walkthrough for compiling a newer mod_ssl based on the latest source?

Thanks!

...Rene

Yeah I think you're right, messing with Apple's Apache isn't a good idea. The mod_ssl in Apple's config appears to be signed.

I can't get on a Snow Leopard server or I would check it myself, but I would
advise you not to do it.

I don't think that "Server Admin" has anything to do with how Apache is
compiled, but keep this in
mind<https://discussions.apple.com/message/8994011#8994011>
:
"custom modules can get overwritten every time an OS update gets installed."

This is dated, but it has basically the same answer:

That won't help prevent the Apple software updater from overwriting the change.

You can upgrade mod_ssl without recompile apache if your apache  
support DSO

Use apxe tool to compile mod_ssl
