Building Apache-2.0.55 with mod_ssl

[John D'Ausilio]

Trying to get ssl working, and it barfs when the server comes up and tries to LoadModule mod_ssl.so ..

Syntax error on line 134 of /opt/netcool/prod/portal_21/httpd/apache-integration/conf/enportal-thisos-httpd.conf:
Cannot load /opt/apache-2.0.55/modules/mod_ssl.so into server: Unresolved external

Can't seem to find a log that tells me what the "Unresolved external" is. I've seen posts that indicate that mod_ssl must not be built as shared, but even specifying --enable-mods=mod_ssl in configure still shows it building as shared (does --enable-mods-shared=most override a specific --enable-mods=?)

I'll attach my build script .. any hints greatly appreciated.

btw, tried to get the project team to accept the nice, pre-built depot (which works great) .. but they're living in the past and want to continue building it in-house :(

Hi John,

Why dont you try installing HP Webserver suite, which has Apache-based Web Server v.2.0.55.00 .

http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=HPUXWSSUITE

It has built-in mod_ssl.

I'd love to .. but as I mentioned in the original post, the people managing the project aren't comfortable with binaries .. I guess when they first started distributing our product, quality pre-built binaries were hard to come by ..

OK, I think, HP Apache contains build document that lists the steps and changes done for Apache source code. You can try looking into that.
