Apache Apache-Perl Mod_SSL Mod_Perl DSO Debian Woody Here's how I built an apache server with Mod_Perl and Mod_SSL (from what I remember), using packaged products (verses doing it from source). I'm not very experienced (read newbie) with apache configuration, so I'm sure there is a better, more proper way to do the apache config, later in this email
su - root # First I get some some packages that perl uses apt-get install unzip apt-get install ncftp apt-get install libgdbmg1-dev # Next I used CPAN (for the first time) to get some perl packages need for CPAN and Apache and HTML stuff perl -MCPAN -e shell install Bundle::CPAN reload cpan install Bundle::libnet HTTP::Date Time::HiRes Bundle::DBI Bundle::Apache # Then I installed Apache-Perl (which is the deb package which is an Apache server with a statically linked Mod_Perl) apt-get install apache-perl # Then I installed libapache-mod-ssl, which is the DSO for mod_ssl (duh) apt-get install libapache-mod-ssl Now apache-perl is installed at: /etc/apache-perl (not there is also an /etc/apache, this is not used) Under this directory you must edit the httpd.conf file and add: LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_ssl.so # Note I stuck the ssl config in a different file just to separate things <IfModule mod_ssl.c> Include ssl.conf </IfModule> Also within the httpd.conf (where the example Listen statements are) you must add: Listen 443 Listen 80 Now create a ssl.conf file in the /etc/apache-perl directory like: SSLMutex file:/var/log/apache-perl/ssl_mutex SSLRandomSeed connect file:/dev/urandom 1024 SSLSessionCache dbm:/var/log/apache-perl/ssl_global_cache_data <VirtualHost _default_:443> ServerName server.YourDomain.com DocumentRoot /var/www SSLEngine on SSLCertificateFile ssl.crt/server.crt SSLCertificateKeyFile ssl.key/server.key SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown </VirtualHost> Next, you gotta build your certificate (for ssl). # Create a certificate # (stolen from http://raibledesigns.com/tomcat/ssl-howto.html) #(which stole from http://www.apache-ssl.org/#FAQ) openssl req -new -out server.csr openssl rsa -in privkey.pem -out server.key openssl x509 -in server.csr -out server.crt -req -signkey server.key -days 365 mv server.key ssl.key mv server.crt ssl.crt mv server.csr ssl.csr #not sure what to do with privkey.pem Then you can fire up your apache server like: apache-perl-ctl start and stop it like apache-perl-ctl stop If you use these instructions and it doesn't work, email me I'll try to help, also I'd like to see where these instructions are incomplete Jay _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
