You've two problems of understanding which you fix first:
1. OpenSSL is the successor package to SSLeay, so you
don't need both. Just use the newer OpenSSL package.
2. mod_ssl and Apache-SSL (aka your "Ben's SSleay patch")
are two different packages, so you don't need both. Either use Apache-SSL
or mod_ssl. If you use Apache-SSL your forum is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] and your website
http://www.apache-ssl.org/. If you use mod_ssl your forum is this mailing
list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and the website http://www.modssl.org/.
3. To reduce your package confusion, start from scratch by reading
mod_ssl's INSTALL document _carefully_ (assuming you choose mod_ssl).
