Hi
I have already installed apache 1.3.12 and open ssl 0.9.6 and mod ssl 2.6.6
and am running it, now i need to know whether its necesary to get a
certificate from someone like verisign or i can have my own certificates
etc?? i know its ridiculous to use my own certs (if thats poss) but this is
all just an experiment. In fact I dont think that the ssl licence allows me
to use the software
Regards
Sachin Dole

Go to http://www.apache-ssl.org and get yourself the apache-ssl patch for
your
version of apache and openssl (say 1.3.14 and openssl 0.9.5) ... remember
that
mod-ssl != apache-ssl (with open-ssl)
This howto (instructions blatantly filched from the readme file <g>) is for
apache-ssl.
Untar apache and the apache-ssl patch (into the same directory)
Untar the openssl tarball - openssl.org
Run the ./FixPatch shell script in the apache-ssl patch tree, it'll patch
open-ssl and apache.
Now do a ./configure with whatever options you use for apache
root@flamenco:/usr/src/apache> ./configure --enable-module=all
--enable-shared=max
root@flamenco:/usr/src/apache> make.
[8< make output]
root@flamenco:/usr/src/apache> cd src
root@flamenco:/usr/src/apache> make certificate <- for your certificate
finally
root@flamenco:/usr/src/apache> make install
