Apache2 and mod_ssl as a DSO

I'm at my wit's end here. I'm trying to install Apache2 and mod_ssl as a dynamic shared object rather than static. The documentation I've seen says you CAN do it, but nothing I can find tells me HOW to do it. I've tried:

Code:

/apache/source/dir# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-mods-shared=all

I also tried:

Code:

/apache/source/dir# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-module=ssl

Neither of these built mod_ssl as a DSO, although they both appear as if they should have.

I have OpenSSL installed properly -- the installation worked beautifully with Apache 1.3. I had it running under Apache2 as a static object, but I want to make Apache as basic as possible and use DSOs. The Apache version is 2.0.52.

Trial and error resulted in success. The following had to be done:

Code:

/apache/source/dir# ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apache2 --enable-so --enable-rewrite --enable-modules=ssl --enable-mods-shared=all

Then it was a matter of pointing the ssl.conf file to the correct key and certificate.
