you used --enable-shared=ss, so mod-ssl is a shared module, not part of the core compiled in stuff in the httpd binary you made. Now you have to load the module in the httpd.conf file and configure the ssl related settings to get it to run for you when you apachectl startssl.
Most the settings and directives should be in the default httpd.conf file generated in the make;makeinstall, and await you editing refinements. the man pages and online documentation at the apche and mod-ssl sites should guide you through any settings not clarified fully in the comments in the default httpd.conf file Thanks, Ron DuFresne On Thu, 14 Nov 2002, Manoj Kithany wrote: > Hi Experts! > > I want to INSTALL and CONFIGURE my APACHE 1.3.27 for SSL.
