Hi Mike, the problem you are observing has a simple explanation. If you define -DSSL as argument for apachectl or configtest or httpd the according parts included in <IfDefine SSL> .. </IfDefine> are executed. If not defined, they are ignored. Your LoadModule and AddModule statements are properly nested with IfDefines, but your VirtualHost for SSL (including mod_ssl directives like SSLEngine) seems not to be enclosed by IfDefine or IfModule. If you start your httpd with -DSSL this is no problem, because mod_ssl is loaded and interprets these directives. If you don't give -DSSL (as in your call of configtest) the Apache httpd does not load mod_ssl and does not understand directives like SSLEngine. To get rid of the error, you should encapsulate all directives that are available only if a certain module is loaded into Apache with IfDefine or IfModule statements. For examples of this have a look in the standard httpd.conf in the conf directory of your Apache installation.
