Hi,

I'm new to this so please bare with me. I am running RedHat Linux 6.2 =
with Apache 1.3.22 and OpenSSL 0.9.6d. I wish to install ModSSL so that =
I can secure my web site.

I have downloaded the mod_ssl-2.8.5-1.3.22 tarball from the web site. =
Upon reading the documentation, I find that I need to recompile apache =
with additional configuration options in order to install ModSSL.

Here is my dilemma. I never compiled Apache from source but rather =
installed from rpm packages. Therefore, there doesn't seem to be any =
way I can install ModSSL. I've looked at the FAQ but can see no hints =
on installing ModSSL once Apache is installed. Neither have I found and =
ModSSL rpm package.

I DON'T want to download the Apache tarball and compile/install if I can =
help it because RedHat is a bit screwy as it uses it's own directories. =
Installing Apache from the tarball will undoubtedly mess up my system as =
it will install in other directories and confuse the hell out of me.

Do I have other options?

Thanks,
Don

The packaged version for Red Hat Linux already has the necessary EAPI
patch applied. You should be able to either compile mod_ssl using apxs
(which is included in the apache-devel package) or rebuild a mod_ssl RPM
package from a later release using 'rpm --rebuild' (though I haven't done
that lately, YMMV).

You have two other options (at least).

1. Download the Apache-mod_ssl rpm from http://www.modssl.org/contrib/

2. Upgrade to RedHat 7.0 or above, as this comes with it.

Either way, keep a backup of your httpd.conf file, just in case.

Hi,

I looked the documentation for compiling mod_ssl using apxs and noticed =
the configure options as such:

../configure \
--with-apxs[=3D/path/to/apache/bin/apxs] \
--with-ssl=3D/path/to/openssl

Is the first option the path to the httpd binary (httpd) or the config =
file (httpd.conf)?
Is the second option the path to the openssl binary (openssl)?

Thanks,
Don

Neither. It's the path to apxs. :) apxs is a script that usually sits
in the same directory as the httpd binary, but it's not the same thing.
