RE: Installing ModSSL Question

[John . Airey]

You have two other options (at least).   1. Download the Apache-mod_ssl rpm from http://www.modssl.org/contrib/ 2. Upgrade to RedHat 7.0 or above, as this comes with it.   Either way, keep a backup of your httpd.conf file, just in case.   - John Airey Internet systems support officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute of the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] If Charles Darwin knew a fraction of what scientists know today, he'd never have written the Origin of the Species. -----Original Message----- From: Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 04 June 2002 15:41 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Installing ModSSL Question Hi,   I'm new to this so please bare with me.  I am running RedHat Linux 6.2 with Apache 1.3.22 and OpenSSL 0.9.6d.  I wish to install ModSSL so that I can secure my web site.   I have downloaded the mod_ssl-2.8.5-1.3.22 tarball from the web site.  Upon reading the documentation, I find that I need to recompile apache with additional configuration options in order to install ModSSL.   Here is my dilemma.  I never compiled Apache from source but rather installed from rpm packages.  Therefore, there doesn't seem to be any way I can install ModSSL.  I've looked at the FAQ but can see no hints on installing ModSSL once Apache is installed.  Neither have I found and ModSSL rpm package.   I DON'T want to download the Apache tarball and compile/install if I can help it because RedHat is a bit screwy as it uses it's own directories.  Installing Apache from the tarball will undoubtedly mess up my system as it will install in other directories and confuse the hell out of me.   Do I have other options?   Thanks, Don - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
