[users@httpd] Apache/SSL question

This might be a silly question but I've never had to deal with this 
issue before. I took over managing a server and it's running Apache 1.3x 
on it and has openssl installed, however, it does not have Apache SSL on 
it....is it possible to install Apache SSL without having to recompile 
Apache? I was looking at the Docs..and it just seems to me you have to 
recompile...but I wanted to double check before making a move.

TIA!

Nope.  you have to recompile Apache and any existing modules.

That's one of the many weaknesses of Apache 1.3 that simply go away
when you upgrade to 2.0 - which makes things work much better.
Your choice: expend more effort on old software, or move into
this century!

you could always just install mod_ssl and just load the module for ssl 
support, then add it to the list of modules, not positive, maybe someone 
on here will back me up on this. check out http://www.modssl.org/
