Oops, should've made this clearer. It is only clients than need to avoid the
old SSLv2 compatible methods and only use SSLv3/TLSv1. Nothing needs to be
done to a server.

exclude it from SSLCipherSuite in your httpd.conf, something like:

SSLCipherSuite
ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:!LOW:!SSLv2:!EXP:!eNULL

!SSLv2 means: No SSLv2.

example how I have to configure an apache server for using SSLv3 only?

best regards,
Thang

Yes. Obviously both server and client need to support it for it to work.

Less obvious is that you cannot use the old SSLv2 compatible methods because
an SSLv2 client hello doesn't support compression.
