You sould beable to just drop the new apache source into place, and
recompile it with the proper params like you did before.  This is easiest
if you retain the source for mod_ssl and openssl under some apache
specific src/ tree, if ya dig what I'm saying;  you already built
the other two, yer just going to rebuild apache with their inclusion.

Re: start works, startssl doesn't

1999-12-21 Thread Blair Lowe

Hi,

I just went through the same grief:

Look in your ssl_error_log file (/var/log/apache_error_log), and see 
what it says.

Check any other log files as well.

Blair.

Upgrading to next version of Apache

When the next version of Apache is released, can you just upgrade 
the Apache or will mod_ssl and/or openssl need to be reinstalled to 
retain SSL  ?

problem with libssl.a

1999-12-21 Thread david manye


hi,

i want to install apache-1.3.9 + mod_ssl-2.4.9-1.3.9 on a sun sparc with
solaris 2.7. i'm using openssl-0.9.4.

i can compile and install successfully openssl with the folowing commands:

  ./Configure solaris64-sparcv9-cc --prefix=/usr/local/tajapatxe/openssl
  make
  make install

then i configure mod_ssl with:

  ./configure --with-apache=../apache_1.3.9

and then

  cd ../apache_1.3.9
  SSL_BASE=/usr/local/ssl ./configure \
  --prefix=/usr/local/tajapatxe/apatxe \ 
  --enable-module=ssl 

at this time i get the following ld error:

 ...

i'm sorry but my knowledge about .a files is null, but look at this:

$ ls -l src/modules/ssl/libssl.a
-rw-r--r--   1 adeim  staff  275196 Dec 21 16:36  src/modules/ssl/libssl.a

-rw-r--r--   1 adeim  staff  496580 Dec 21 16:22 ../openssl-0.9.4/libssl.a

i noticed that the file size differ, so i overwrote libssl.a in
src/modules/ssl with ../openssl-0.9.4, and try to make again. at this time
a get a similar error but now only one symbol remains unreferenced:

... compiling messages ...

$ 

any idea where i can find this symbol (or how it should be added to
libssl.a).

any help will be appreciated. thanks.

You should decide this on your own, please. I recommend you to compare them
yourself first (do a quick installation of both) and then make a reasonable
decision for _your_ situation (one cannot give a general answer, the decision
will certainly dependent on your situation). Keep in mind: on security issues
one always should at least have an own opinion first... 

> 2.  May I use either of the two commercially in the United States?

Whether commercially or not is not the question for the US.  The question for
the US is whether you have the RSA license.  You need one in the US, at least
for the next 10 months until RSA patent expires. Because of this you should
also add the commercial SSL solutions for Apache to the evaluation point
under 1) because they provide you with a more or less cheap RSA license.

As I said, commercially or not is not important here.

If the IBM server allows you to recompile Apache from source, you can use
mod_perl, too. Else it becomes tricky (either you need a pre-built version
from IBM with mod_perl added or you need some pre-built mod_perl DSOs, etc.)
Ask IBM what they provide.

Sorry, but exactly are the error messages you get?  You at least should tell
us about them in detail if you expect a reasonable help ;)

mod_ssl vs. Apache-SSL

1999-12-21 Thread Thomas G. Peroulas

Dear modssl users:

I must enable my Apache server with SSL capability.  I am considering
Apache-SSL and mod_ssl.
I am running an Apache web server using Perl CGI (OpenSSL 0.9.4 and
Net::Crypt-SSLeay.pm) to pass https applications.  Of course I can't pass
https until I enable SSL on Apache.

Perhaps you can help me with the following:

1.  Should I use mod_ssl or Apache-SSL and why?
2.  May I use either of the two commercially in the United States?
3.  If I cannot use these commercially in the states, would anyone recommend
the IBM http server?
4.  Does anyone know offhand if the IBM http server is compatible with
mod_perl?

Thank you very much,

start works, startssl doesn't

No matter what I try, I can't seem to get 'apachectl startssl' to work,
whereas 'apachectl start' works just fine. I have made sure every file I

IE occasional error with SSL

1999-12-21 Thread Jason Terry

I use
Apache/1.3.6 (Unix)
PHP/3.0.11
mod_ssl/2.3.5
OpenSSL/0.9.3a

Ocassionally IE users get their standard error message "page cannot be
displayed".
Now, I know this is due to some problems negotiating the SSL connection.
And, it has been a problem with older versions of mod_ssl as well.  My
question is, has anybody else ever seen this problem? And, is there a fix
for it?  This seems to occur about 10% of the time with SSL connections
only. And, a simple page reload (clicking back, then clicking the link
again) will get you through the error.

Netscape seems to work 100% of the time. It is my browser of choice, and I
have NEVER seen it have the problem.

If anybody has any ideas on what to check for, or a way to try and
debug/find the problem.  I am up for it.

Thanks
-Jason
