Then the installation of 0.9.7 is really simple. Download an actual 0.9.7-beta or snapshot from OpenSSL. Compile it and install it. You can find all the new files in /usr/local/ssl and all your old applications don't see the new libs.OK, I can do something along these lines (BTW, Debian installs its openssl files alongside all the other packaged files: /usr/bin/openssl, /usr/lib/libssl.so.0.9.6, etc).
There is a misunderstanding. First I exactly run my testinstallations in this mode (SuSE 7.3 with Apache with mod_perl and old mod_ssl and OpenCA with new OpenSSL). Second mod_perl load the code in the same process but this process was created when mod_perl was used for the first time. Mod_perl compile the script and re-use the compiled script if it possible. This process and the associated libs of apache has nothing to do with the script and we use the commandlinetools of OpenSSL and some compiled binaries via perls `command`-functionality.Hmm, I have one concern about this. If mod-ssl is compiled with 0.9.6, and OpenCA Perl scripts use 0.9.7, and they occupy the same process, you are likely to have a problem. If I recall correctly, this doesn't actually happen when using plain CGI, but mod-perl is on the feature list for the next release, and I believe mod-perl does load scripts up in the same process. I don't know for sure that there is a problem there, but it might be worth looking into.
So there is no problem to run an old apache with a new OpenCA.
Best regards
Michael
