I actually did an rm command on /usr/local/apache, and rm on /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd symlink I had for apachectl, and redid the install with the --enable-ssl and it worked great with apachectl startssl.

As far as I know, if you install openSSL, that actually configure apache to use SSL. But I never tried that (so, don't shout at me if it does not work, ok?). And if you want to install apache again, thats pretty simple. Just do the whole installation process once again. This time make sure to include the switches. This will simply overwrite the old files and you will be able to get it up without any further trouble. (Please remember, I do not take any responsibility for the free advice I give ;-) ) --Hossain

    I.

    Is there a way to add the SSL support "after the fact?"  I
    compiled and
    simply forgot to add the flag.  The flag I used to compile is:

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-mods-shared=most

    What would I do to simply add the SSL in afterward?  From what I can
    tell this shop doesn't do the DSO approach, so that's perhaps not
    an option.

    Is there a static way to do this or should I start from scratch?

    II.
    REMOVAL question:

    If I need to wipe it all and start from scratch -is there a smart
    way to
    go about removing apache?

    Here's what I did in total, it's been working great, save for my error
    in not getting SSL on there.  -would I be better off with just using
    enable-mods-shared ALL (that includes SSL right?)

    cd /usr/local/src

    wget http://www.mirrorgeek.com/apache.org/httpd/httpd-2.0.58.tar.gz

    tar -xzf httpd-2.0.58.tar.gz
    cd httpd-2.0.58

    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache --enable-mods-shared=most

    make

    make install

    ln -s /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl /etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd

    cp -v /usr/local/src/build/configs/httpd.conf /usr/local/apache/conf/

    cp -v /usr/local/src/build/configs/index.html
    /usr/local/apache/htdocs/

    vi /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf
