Hi,
Please forgive the newbie questions, I'm a web designer bumbling my way
through system administration. I really did make an effort to search
the archives. :-) Time's running short to get this project done.
The box on which I'm working has RedHat 7.3 with openssl-0.9.6b-35.7
installed as an RPM.
---Question 1---
Step 3 of the INSTALL document says OpenSSL must be configured with
-fPIC to install mod_ssl as a DSO. Can this be done with the OpenSSL
RPM provided by RedHat? I looked into doing a source install of OpenSSL
but don't have time to deal chase down and reinstall the dependencies of
which there are quite a few.
--Question 2--
Step 5 (a), the "All-In-One mod_ssl+APACI way [FOR JOE AVERAGE]" to
install mod_ssl suggests
"--with-ssl=../openssl-0.9.x \"
as one of the arguments for the "./configure" statement.
As mentioned above my OpenSSL is an RPM install; therefore, there is no
source directory. Do I leave out "--with-sql=../openssl-0.9.x"? The
install document also suggests using "SSL_BASE=SYSTEM" in place of
"SSL_BASE=../openssl-0.9.x"; do I then put "SYSTEM" in place of
"../openssl-0.9.x"? E.g., "--with-ssl=SYSTEM"
--Question 3--
This install is for a low traffic server. Is it worth it for me to use
shared memory support? MM is also installed as an RPM on this system.
Thanks in advance for the assistance.
