Yep, there shouldn't be any problems with that. There's even an option
to mod_ssl's configure if you want to point to existing certs. You could
probably even use the same httpd.conf.

I would recommend upgrading openssl for performance and other fixes,
but you probably don't really have to.

 Can I just upgrade apache and keep the current versions of modssl and openssl...?

No. You must have the correct version of mod_ssl to fit the Apache.
There is also quite a lot that have happened to mod_ssl that will 
make an upgrade worth the trouble.

RE: upgrading an ancient version

2000-12-01 Thread David Rees

Hi,

 I am very familiar configuring mod_ssl / openssl / apache.  Can someone
 advise as to the pitfalls I might encounter, if there are any, and how
 to overcome them when upgrading from the following versions of software
 to the latest on a FREEBSD box?

 OS: 3.2-STABLE FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #2 i386 (not a chance of upgrading
 this to latest...yet!)
 APACHE: 1.3.9
 MODSSL: mod_ssl/2.4.0
 OPENSSL: OpenSSL/0.9.4

 What I am really worried about is my vhost's certs.  Will they still
 work if I upgrade modssl and openssl?

 Will they still work if I just upgrade apache and mod_ssl (do I even
 need to upgrade openssl at all?)

I have no idea.  :-)  I wouldn't expect any problems to arise, but why don't
you test it by running the upgraded version in a different directory and on
different ports?  I do this all the time on production machines.

 Can I just upgrade apache and keep the current versions of modssl
 and openssl...?

You can't do this, mod_ssl generally only works for the version of Apache
it's released for.
