Which is exactly what I did this afternoon :-) 3 days last week trying to
get apache-SSL working to no avail (core dump on every connection was the
net result!). Got apache running with mod_ssl in 15 minutes!
Oh well, what doesn't kill me, only makes me really anoyed at wasting 3
days....or summat....

Subject: Re: Apache-SSL or Mod-ssl
Actually, mod-ssl is the preferred way to add SSL to Apache these days.
Apache-SSL is an older solution. Most of the commercial ssl products (i.e.
Covalent Raven, Stronghold, etc...) are based on mod-ssl -- and they
actually support its development. If you've already gone through the pain of
setting up Apache-SSL, setting up mod-ssl should seem relatively simple.
Mod-ssl is extremely well documented on it's website (www.modssl.org). It
took me about 20 minutes to apply the EAPI patch to Apache and compile the
module.
If I were you, I'd look at implementing mod-ssl on your own before buying
Stronghold or any other commercial product.
Thanks,
