Cliff, thanks a lot for the responses. I actually figured this out a little earlier, but, as you surmised in your first response, my newer OpenSSL version was being installed in /usr/local/ssl (actually, the actual openssl binary needed is in /usr/local/ssl/bin) whereas the "system" version was in /usr/bin. Once I realized what was going on, I simply mv-ed the old version and created a symbolic in my /usr/bin directory to the new openssl version and all was well. As for compiling, once I made that symbolic link switch, everything was smooth sailing. I went all the way through the make install step because I wanted to be able to create some self-signed certs for my testing environment. I now successfully have Apache 2.0.46 with SSL installed on my system with self-signed certs. I'm not sure about the Safari subscription you're talking about, but my golden resource for the Apache process is Wrox's Professional Apache 2.0 (and I'm not normally a big Wrox fan, RIP!). Thanks again for taking the time to help me out.
