Apache2 + ssl

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Hi there
I was instaling apache2.
I did this:

wget http://apache.rmplc.co.uk/httpd/httpd-2.2.4.tar.gz
tar xvfz httpd-2.2.4.tar.gz
cd httpd-2.2.4/
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-deflate --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-balancer --enable-proxy-http
make
make install
/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl start

Now I need to anable mod_ssl but its not available in: /usr/local/apache2/modules/

ls -la /usr/local/apache2/modules/

root@webserver1:/home/madmin/src/httpd-2.2.4# ls -la /usr/local/apache2/modules/

Is there any chance to install/add this module now ?

Cheers

I dont want to install Apache again or just add the modul using LoadModule mod_ssl.so.

My problem is that I don't have this module in the system.

I've found thet there is a mod_ssl.c file in my sysytem. What can I do? How to install mod_ssl to /usr/local/apache2/modules/ ?

Cheers

Shalom,

You can add the module.

First you need to get the thing. The modssl link above is one good place. Make sure you get for apache 2.2. You might find it just a bit easier to reinstall apache from a distribution that includes mod_ssl.

http://httpd.apache.org has good documentation on how to proceed.

No, you don't want that URL.

mod_ssl has been incorporated into the Apache2 source tree.

As you didn't compile it when you compiled the rest of Apache, you'll need the source tree you compiled against to be still available to manually compile the mod_ssl module.

It's a bit of a pain to do, and is probably easier just to recompile the entire thing again, copying just the binaries and modules over.

Or better yet, use a pre-packaged distribution that has it all there and ready to use.

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Apache is already installed.

I did:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-deflate --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-balancer --enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl

and iI get this:

...
checking for APR-util... yes
configure: error: Cannot use an external APR-util with the bundled APR

What's up ?

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Working :)

1) apt-get install openssl libssl-dev

2) ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --with-included-apr --enable-mods-shared=all --enable-deflate --enable-proxy --enable-proxy-balancer --enable-proxy-http --enable-ssl

[Stuart Browne]

Just wondeirng, why didn't you just 'apt-get install apache2'?

[Piotr Kirklewski]

Beacause in Ubuntu 6.6 it installs apache 2.0 which does not have proxy_balancer module in it :(

I was trying several tricks but nothing wored.
