URGENT: need mod_ssl rpm to work with RedHat"s apache_1.3.22 rpm on RH6.2

I upgraded a 6.2 Red Hat system, from apache 1.2.12 to 1.3.22, using
their rpms. In the process, the ssl module disappeared, and I cannot
find a new one.

Since the apache is installed from an rpm, there is no way for me to
build the module from the mod_ssl-2.8.5-1.3.22.tar.gz source file I
downloaded, as it wants to integrate itself into the apache source that
doesn't exist.

Our e-business site is broken until I can fix this.

Can anyone tell me what I have to do to fix this?

Most gracious thanks in advance!

I have investigated further and discovered it's actually a different
problem.

when I installed red hat's 1.3.22 apache rpm, it does in fact include a
libssl.so module, which does get loaded in the httpd.conf.ssl file on
the system. (I was looking for mod_ssl.so).

The problem is that this causes all the httpd processes to seg fault,
which they don't, if the module isn't loaded.

I should not that if I fall back to the apache 1.3.12 rpms, it all 'just
works'.

I'm wondering if something in the httpd.conf.ssl file is causing it to
barf. I have no idea where that file came from, to see if there is an
updated version I should be migrating the ssl settings to ...

It would be helpful if you could tell us *where* it was segfaulting.
Please see http://httpd.apache.org/dev/debugging.html for information on
how to generate a backtrace for us.

Thanks,

Are you sure?? I have the latest RPM from RedHat (apache-1.3.22-5.6) and it
does not contain any file which has 'ssl' in its name. Maybe you still have
an old version of libssl.so on your system. This could also explain the
crashes you see.

Good luck,
Sander.

Yes, that's exactly what I discovered later. The more I dug into the
problem, the more I learned and understood.

To get my server working again, I downloaded the rpm for the older
version I'd been running, from Red Hat, and re-installed that.
Everything is fine again.

Now, I am learning how to build the server and extra modules from
source, so that I: 1) learn how to do it, 2) have the latest releases to
draw upon, instead of Red Hat's lagged-behind software, with back-ported
patches, 3) know exactly how everything is built.

My client will get a nicely running server that meets his needs, and I
will have learned quite a bit, which goes right to the bottom-line of my
resume. :)

And I have now, after a few hours of hair pulling, succeeded in
building an apache_1.3.26/mm-1.1.3/openssl-0.9.6d/mod_ssl-2.8.10-1.3.26
server.

Now I have to learn how to add php-4.2.1 & mod_perl-1.27 to this mix.

This isn't easy, but a little bit of success sure starts to make it fun. :)

You may want to try out Apache eXtenSions (APXS), which is a nice way
of working with dynamic shared objects. I discovered this about a
week ago and I really love it. It makes working with Apache modules
really easy.

I've set up a small web page giving some recipes for adding APXS
modules (including php and mod_perl) to Apache:
http://logidac.com/apache/apxs/

Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

You'll notice that mod_ssl is not in the list, because of the bug I
described in my message from Saturday.
