All startssl does in the apachectl script is run httpd with -DSSL, this activates any directives in httpd.conf that are between <IfDefine SSL> </IfDefine SSL> so if you have not got an appropriately patched httpd.conf then it wont do anything.
It looks as if you're using the with-apxs method to build libssl, that is you're building against the precompiled rpm of apache, in this method the httpd.conf would not get touched i dont think, or maybe it alters conf/httpd.conf-dist. the patch script under mod_sslxxxxx/pkg.sslcfg/sslcfg.patch should add the bits in that you need - including the Listen 443 directive that is missing. But my advice is that for security reasons you should start with the source trees of apache 1.3.26 and mod_ssl 2.8.10 - use the first method, in which mod_ssl patches the apache source tree, and build apache yourself. The rpm version you have is subject to a security advisory. Mark-Nathaniel Weisman wrote: > Hello List: > I'm kinda stuck here so I figured I'd try the list to see if I can > get any movement.
