My advice would have to be - move to *nix if you possibly can ;-)
I've been developing a site where everything is SSL encrypted so we have
heavy mod_ssl use.
Initially we used NT, using Apache 1.3.12, mod_ssl 2.6.4 and OpenSSL 0.9.4
in a pre-bulit binary form.
I had so many problems with unexplained Access Violation errors that I
moved to Linux. This solved all the issues as well as giving me a 100%
performance increase on the same hardware !
The problem I think is that Ralf does not support NT so support is very
limited on the list. Although I did get an offer to review backtraces if I
posted them I didn't take up the offer as I was running out of time and
felt a move to Linux would be more prudent.
I was lucky in that I am running the project so could make such changes.
If you are not so lucky you will just have hope that the latest versions
of mod_ssl are more stable on NT or that compiling them from sources on
your specific NT build will be more successful.
Good luck !

Subject Apache and mod_ssl on WinNT-platform
Hi,
thrown in a running project, I found following:
Apache 1.3.12 with mod_ssl 2.6.2. and OpenSSL 0.9.5 running on NT 4.0(SP 5).
Although knowing well Apache on Linux, the same on a NT-platform is
completely new for me.
So, is there anybody who has experience with this kind of stuff? Do I have
to be aware of anything important (i.e. security holes, known bugs..) in the
config-file. I would be grateful for any advice or technical tip.
Thanks in advance
Elke
